This week on New Jersey Viewpoint: March 16th, 2014 (Originally aired on January 5th, 2014)
Today we bring you the North Jersey Arts and Science Charter Schools who are using technology to deliver the curriculum to their students. We also have with us a young author who has advice for other teens in a new book.
But first, we bring you some important information on Ovarian Cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 22,000 women will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer this year and about 15,500 women will die from the disease.
Joining us in the studio, from the Carol G. Simon Cancer Center, at Overlook Medical Center are, Dr. Daniel Tobias, the Medical director at the Women's Cancer Center, Dr. Brian Slomovitz, the Director of Oncology Research, and Jocelyn Alfandre, a patient with ovarian cancer.
