Edward M. Soffen received his B.A. in biology from Johns Hopkins University in 1979 and his M.D. from Temple University School of Medicine in 1986. He completed an internship at Cooper University Medical Center in Camden, New Jersey, and a residency in Radiation Oncology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.

In 1991, Dr. Soffen was certified in Radiation Oncology by the American Board of Radiology. Dr. Soffen has since been an attending radiation oncologist at the Fox Chase Cancer Center and CentraState Medical Center; a Consultant in Radiation Oncology and Endovascular Brachytherapy at the Deborah Heart and Lung Center in Browns Mills, New Jersey; an Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine; and a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Dr. Soffen has been an attending radiologist at University Medical Center at Princeton (UMCP) and a member of Princeton Radiology Associates since 1992.

Dr. Soffen is a member of the American Society of Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, the American College of Radiology, the Radiology Society of New Jersey, the Mercer County Medical Society, and the American Medical Association.
