Prevention and Early Detection
Early diagnosis and intervention are key factors to successful cancer treatment outcomes.

Through our community outreach activities, the Division of Oncology encourages a proactive approach to prevention and early detection. Free screenings are offered throughout the year at both the Hospital and its satellite clinics. Educational lectures are presented by specialized clinical experts to increase disease awareness. Active participation by the Hospital's medical, nursing and ancillary staff in local events such as the American Cancer Society Annual Relay For Life demonstrates our support for the important work that is being done throughout our community for cancer patients and their families.

Celebrating Survivorship
As improved therapies enable patients to live free of cancer, the oncology physicians and nurses at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center host an annual Celebrate Life barbecue for our cancer patients and their families and friends. The entire Wyckoff community — hospital employees, community physicians, local merchants — embraces this wonderful event, donating time, food, and services in acknowledgment of the courage our cancer patients have shown in their journey towards renewed health.

Research
The Division of Oncology works closely with the Cytogenetics Lab, which operates under the direction of Dr. Arvind Babu, to promote basic research into the nature, causes and development of abnormal cell growth.
