Matthew B Zook, MD, PhD

I chose to come to Fox Chase Cancer Center for several reasons.  First, the Center has established itself as an institution dedicated to clinical excellence evidenced by its Magnet designation.  Second, the institution has maintained and garnered its long tradition of cancer research, supporting research labs and clinical investigations.  Additionally, the hospital participates in nationwide networks, such as the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, dedicated to advancing the treatment and management of cancers.  Finally, all of the above is accomplished while fostering a welcoming, patient oriented environment.

Currently the Melanoma and pigmented lesion services at Fox Chase Cancer Center serves those who have been diagnosed with skin cancer, are at risk for developing skin cancer, or need routine surveillance.  We offer office-based treatment and counseling as well as coordination with the Oncology and Surgery departments when needed.
