Hematologists are physicians who specialize in treating blood disorders that affect patients’ red or white blood cells, platelets, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, or clotting proteins. Common hematological conditions include anemia, hemophilia, polycythemia vera, and sickle cell disease. People with blood disorders may experience symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, recurring fevers or infections, abnormal bleeding or bruising, or excessive blood clotting. Hematologic oncologists specialize in the treatment of cancers that occur in the blood or blood-forming tissues, such as leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and myelodysplastic syndromes. Hematologists at Regional Cancer Care Associates treat both cancerous and non-cancerous blood disorders with the most advanced treatment options available, including new clinical trials.

A hematologist and oncologist with Regional Cancer Care Associates (RCCA) in New Jersey, Kenneth D. Nahum, MD, has been practicing medicine for more than 30 years. In addition to treating patients, Dr. Kenneth D. Nahum has served as the principle and co-investigator on dozens of drug studies for the treatment of unresectable cancers. Cancer that cannot be fully removed by surgery, unresectable cancer is not the same as untreatable cancer. Further, some tumors are initially deemed unresectable but later become removable. Several factors contribute to a tumor being unresectable, including the tumor's size and location. When a tumor is large, removing it with surgery may require the removal of a large portion of an essential organ. This will negatively impact the function of the body and make safe removal of the growth difficult. The same is true if the tumor is intertwined with vital blood vessels. Certain tumors may also be deemed unresectable because of their spread. Since surgery is a local treatment, it is not a viable option for tumors that have spread to other areas of the body. Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and other systemic treatments that kill cancer cells in numerous areas of the body are preferred. |
