Many cancer patients are senior citizens, and they have greater prospects of surviving with advanced treatment now available at the state-of-the-art newly opened AtlantiCare Cancer Center on English Creek Avenue in Egg Harbor Township.

Anchoring the center's diagnostic and treatment suites is its "linear accelerator," which is one of the most sophisticated cancer treatment modalities. It looks like "Star Trek" medicine and is top-of-line technology. Slated to become operable this fall is an even more advanced tumor-treating device -- the Cyberknife, a non-invasive robotic radiosurgery system.

Craig Keyser, chairman of the ARMC board of trustees declared, "We envisioned a bright, airy, comfortable, positive, hopeful, thoughtfully designed cancer treatment center that would help make the treatment of cancer just a little bit better, and everything we envisioned has come to life and then some."
