Doing personal research about a disease, illness or medical procedure is one of the very best ways to learn about and understand it. That is why the Cancer Institute of New Jersey at Cooper University Hospital is not only committed to providing you with the most comprehensive selection of diagnosis and treatment options in the area, but also being the healthcare information leader in the Delaware Valley and your source for easy-to-understand information on a wide range of health and medical topics.
Would you like to know more about a particular type of cancer, diagnostic test, or therapeutic procedure? Or perhaps you would just like to read up on nutrition, genetics or pain management. Our Patient Education Library offers easy-to-understand information on a wide range of health and medical topics, updated quarterly.
For an explanation of a medical condition, for example, you will find: What it is, Its symptoms, How the condition is diagnosed, Available treatment options, Prevention suggestions and other relevant information.
Please remember that, while this information is aimed at helping you better understand a number of issues and illnesses, it should in no way be considered a substitute for the advice of a licensed medical professional. Please consult a Cooper physician with your more detailed questions and to receive specific diagnoses and recommendations.
