A partnership to improve cancer screening, prevention and education, ScreenNJ is dedicated to reducing cancer incidence.
About us
New Jersey is ranked in the top ten nationally for cancer incidence. ScreenNJ is a collaborative project of organizations across the state committed to reducing cancer incidence and mortality through an effective cancer prevention and screening program. Lung cancer and colorectal cancer are among the most prevalent in the state. In order to help improve the health of New Jersey’s residents, the initial focus of ScreenNJ is on lung cancer and colorectal cancer. These cancers have better outcomes if detected early through proven screening methods such as low dose computerized tomography (CT) scans for lung cancer and colonoscopy for colorectal cancer. Under the leadership of Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and working in partnership with the New Jersey Department of Health, primary care providers and a number of organizations throughout the State, the goal of ScreenNJ is to increase screening for lung and colorectal cancer, to reduce cancer mortality rates and to educate New Jersey residents about the importance of cancer screening, early detection, and prevention. ScreenNJ was launched in 2017 and is funded in part by the State.

Why should you get screened for cancer? One in two men and one in three women will develop cancer in their lifetime. Overall, cancer is the second leading cause of death (behind heart disease) in both the United States and in New Jersey. When cancer care is delayed or inaccessible there is a lower chance of survival, greater problems associated with treatment, and higher costs of care. https://buff.ly/4fq2cMf

Today is #WorldCancerDay, we’re reminded that early detection can save lives. Screenings are a powerful tool in the fight against cancer—because the earlier we find it, the better we can treat it. 💙 #WhyWeScreen #ScreenNJ
