A cancer diagnosis is an experience that is unique to every individual. At Shore Medical Center, as part of the Penn Cancer Network, you can trust that our team will do everything we can to help you, with newly expanded access to advanced expertise and a variety of resources. Shore Cancer Center is a comprehensive, nationally recognized program that utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach to provide you with the highest quality cancer care close to home.
Nationally Accredited Program
Built to be the best, Shore’s comprehensive cancer program has received national recognition from two very important quality assurance organizations:
- Since 1987, Shore Medical Center has received approval from the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC), by meeting or exceeding the organization’s stringent standards for patient care. Only one in four community cancer programs nationwide are qualified to earn this level of approval. Approval is granted to those facilities that have voluntarily committed to provide the best in cancer diagnosis and treatment and are able to comply with established CoC standards. Each cancer program must undergo a rigorous evaluation and review of its performance and compliance with the CoC standards every three years. CoC-approved cancer programs throughout the nation diagnose and/or treat 80 percent of newly diagnosed cancer patients annually.
- The Shore Medical Center Radiation Oncology Department is accredited by the American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO). ACRO Accreditation ensures that Shore’s program meets the most current and stringent standards in staffing, equipment, quality control and technical capability.
A Leading-edge Cancer Center
The Shore Cancer Center was designed and developed to bring the most advanced cancer care available to the people of southern New Jersey in a private and attractive space that is comfortable for patients, their families and friends.
In addition to Varian TrueBeam® linear accelerator and a Toshiba Aquillion Prime CT scanner, the radiation therapy department houses a patient and family library, a conference room, and social service and nutritional counseling areas in support of our patient-centered philosophy.
Radiation treatments are painless and patients are typically in the treatment room for approximately 15 minutes. In most cases, daily treatments are given over the course of several weeks.
The medical oncology department has an infusion suite with eight chairs, an on-site pharmacy and three exam rooms. All nurses are oncology certified nurses (OCN) and chemotherapy certified.
