Combating Cancer in 2018

Cancer in its various forms has touched millions upon millions of Americans, and in 2018 alone, the American Cancer Society predicts that more than 1.7 million people in the United States will receive a cancer diagnosis. For many decades, New Jersey Business magazine has been committed to exploring healthcare and medical topics, and this special section continues that tradition. A series of articles on the following pages examines the roles of hospitals, the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and overall cancer research in combating cancer. While the wide array of persons, institutions and organizations striving to improve cancer care is extraordinarily vast, these stories provide a primer view of both the medical progress and associated professionals in this sphere.
