Dear Cooper Team:
We hope everyone is having a good week and that you are ready for a new academic year. Thank you for all the work you’re doing to care for our patients, community, and each other.
What You Should Know This Week:
- Another First in Cancer Care. Surgical oncologists at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper recently became the first in New Jersey and the Philadelphia region to treat a patient using histotripsy, an innovative, noninvasive technology that uses sound waves to destroy cancerous liver tumors. This makes MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper one of only 20 cancer centers worldwide to offer this treatment. Click here to read more.
