The Department of Radiation Oncology
at Newark Beth Israel is one of a select few in
the state of New Jersey that is affiliated with
the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) through
its relationship with Thomas Jefferson University.
Due to this affiliation the department has access
to the most up to date and most promising "cutting
edge" treatment protocols, designed to explore new
methods of treatment. The goal of these protocols
is simple, increase the chance of cure while reducing
the risk of side effects.
The department has a similar affiliation with the Children뭩 Cancer Study Group (CCSG), making it one of the only departments in New Jersey to hold dual affiliations. All patients treated on protocol have their treatment plans undergo professional peer review by a panel of experts at either RTOG or CCSG headquarters.
Dr. Sacher is a Board Certified Radiation Oncologist and is a member of The American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO), American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO), and The American Medical Association (AMA).
