DESCRIPTION

As the second-most common cancer in both men and women, lung cancer is responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths. The American Cancer Society estimates more than 160,000 people will lose their battle with lung cancer this year, accounting for more victims than breast, prostate, colon and pancreatic cancers combined. In recognition of National Lung Cancer Awareness Month in November, New Jersey CyberKnife encourages local residents to take preventive steps to protect themselves and their loved ones from common and lesser-known causes of lung cancer.

“CyberKnife  is  an  important  treatment  that  gives  cancer  pa5ents  a  ray  of  hope.  Cancer  pa>ents  at  Community  Medical  can  be  doubly  hopeful  because  of  the  wonderful  people  that  administer  the  treatment.  People  like  Dr.  Iyer,  Debbie,  Joe,  Marilyn,  Leonard  and  others  whose  care,  concern  and  helpfulness  go  a  long  way  in  making  the  CyberKnife  experience  one  that  will  be  with  me  forever.”  

–  Bernard  J.  

“AKer  being  diagnosed  with  brain  cancer,  my  doctor  recommended  CyberKnife  treatment.  The  staff  at  New  Jersey  CyberKnife  eased  any  concerns  I  had  by  fully  explaining  the  treatment  process.  There  is  absolutely  no  pain  or  discomfort.  I  had  no  side  effects.  In  fact,  I  fell  asleep  during  treatment!  I  leK  the  center  feeling  great.”

“Dr.  David  D’Ambrosio,  his  nurse  coordinator  and  totally  aQen>ve,  competent  team  destroyed  my  brain  lesion  aKer  a  single  CyberKnife  session.  I  asked  if  they  were  s>ll  taking  pictures,  and  the  tech  said  the  procedure  was  done.  It  was  uQerly  noninvasive.  Kudos  and  much  deserved  thanks  to  Dr.  D  and  his  excellent  team.  The  lesion  was  reduced  in  size  to  a  mere  frac>on  of  its  original  size  in  just  six  weeks  aKer  the  CyberKnife  procedure.”

             I  heard  about  CyberKnife  treatment  on  TV.  Once   I   saw  Community  Medical   Center   offered  it,   I   met   with   Dr.   D   and   Debbie   Moriarty   and  couldn’t   be   happier   with   the   choice   I   made.  The   CyberKnife   staff   was   caring   and   helpful  explaining  my  treatments.
