Cancer Program

At Ocean Medical Center, we excel in the care of cancer patients and their families. In fact, Ocean Medical Center received accreditation with commendation as a community hospital comprehensive cancer program from the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons.

As in best practice centers, we have a full continuum of cancer services including, a dedicated inpatient oncology unit, outpatient infusion center, advanced radiation oncology with Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, cancer clinical trials in conjunction with the University of Pennsylvania Cancer network, and our Hereditary Cancer Risk Genetics Program where genetic specialists can work to determine a patient’s level of risk for cancer.
