Pioneering Breakthroughs in Cancer Care
At MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper, we’re delivering some of the world’s most advanced cancer treatments close to home.
- Global First in TIL Therapy
We made history as the first site worldwide to use tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy as an initial treatment for advanced melanoma—an immunotherapy that empowers the body’s own immune system to fight cancer. - Next-Gen Cell Therapies
We’re advancing new cell therapies for hard-to-treat cancers like ovarian cancer, targeting resistance to traditional treatments. - Histotripsy for Liver Tumors
Cooper is the first in New Jersey and the Philadelphia region to offer histotripsy—an innovative, non-invasive ultrasound treatment that destroys liver tumors without surgery.
The World’s First TIL Patient. Now Cancer-Free.
Debra Marsdale, a South Jersey woman, became the first person in the world to receive tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy as an initial treatment for advanced melanoma. Today, she is cancer-free.
Led by Dr. Young Ki Hong, our team’s leadership in TIL research helped launch a global clinical trial combining TIL therapy with Pembrolizumab for advanced melanoma.
"The MD Anderson at Cooper team provided not only unmatched medical care but also made themselves available to Barbara whenever she needed them, while working tirelessly throughout the weeks and weekends to research treatments and clinical studies. Not just the treatments and studies currently available but also the groundbreaking treatments that were on the horizon for approval – always searching for that one special treatment that would bring about a cure.” - Jay D. Ferraro, Barbara T. Ferraro Foundation for Ovarian Cancer

Patient in Need Fund
The Cooper Foundation's “Patient in Need” fund provides small financial assistance grants for transportation, child care, prescriptions and other necessities to cancer patients in need. The grant also provides support for women in cancer treatment who need wigs and cosmetic support while undergoing cancer treatment who could otherwise not afford them.
“Every time we receive a donation it brings us closer to a world where every person touched by cancer is successfully treated." - Generosa Grana, MD, FACP, Director of MD Anderson at Cooper.
