At Hunterdon Hematology Oncology, our mission is simple yet powerful: to bring world-class cancer treatment directly to our community of hunterdon county. Today, we’re proud to announce that two of our dedicated physicians, Dr. Kenneth Blankstein and Dr. Myron Bednar, have been honored as Jersey Choice Top Doctors for 2020 by New Jersey Monthly Magazine.

Why does this matter to you?

This prestigious distinction means that Drs. Blankstein and Bednar have been recognized by their fellow physicians as leading experts trusted to care for their own family members. The selection involves nominations from over 20,000 practicing physicians across New Jersey, followed by a thorough review by an advisory board of previous award winners.

When you choose Hunterdon Hematology Oncology, you’re not just getting advanced treatments; you’re being cared for by physicians nationally recognized for their medical expertise, compassion, and dedication to excellence.

Join us in congratulating Dr. Blankstein and Dr. Bednar. Together, we continue our commitment to exceptional cancer care close to home.

Congratulations Dr. Shah! We are excited to announce that our very own, Dr. Megha Shah, has been published in the Journal Of Endocrine Health. This article contains information regarding the SAT-358 Hypercalcemia-Induced Altered Mental Status as the Primary Manifestation of Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma. If you are interested in learning more, read the article here.

Providing the highest-quality cancer care in a compassionate manner is a top priority of Dr. Myron Bednar. Board certified in medical oncology, hematology and internal medicine, he actively participates in cancer research trials and is committed to bringing patients new and innovative investigational treatments. Dr. Bednar is currently excited to participate in MATCH, a national clinical study in which cancer-fighting drugs are assigned based on the specific mutations present in a patient’s tumors.

He offers a variety of options on-site, from radiation to infusion-based and oral chemotherapy, as well as immune-based therapy, which stimulates a patient’s immune system to attack cancer cells. Read more.

Dr. Kenneth B. Blankstein, an oncologist in Flemington, N.J., is treating a woman for lung cancer. She responded well to the first chemotherapy drugs he prescribed. When her health was stable, he gave her a “temporary break” from chemo to spare her some of its side effects.

But when he tried to return her to the treatment, the insurer balked, saying that the “temporary break” was evidence that the treatment had failed. Despite Blankstein’s protests, the insurer said she would have to move next to Tarceva, another treatment.

“She had under a 5 percent chance of a response on Tarceva,” he said. “Yet they insisted, so we had to.”

As Blankstein expected, the patient did not respond, but instead of letting her return to the first chemo cocktail, the insurer insisted she try another drug first.

The patient ultimately switched to Medicare, which covered the first chemotherapy protocol. Her health is stable.

“The patient’s being told to use a drug we know isn’t going to work, but we have to use it anyway for someone with terminal illness? To me that’s just insane, but it’s the way they do things,” Blankstein said. “It’s taken away clinical judgment. It’s managing by algorithms.” Read the whole article.

Hunterdon Hematology Oncology (HHO) is delighted to announce that our very own Dr. Swee Ngeow has earned recognition as an NJ Top Doc for 2019. This esteemed acknowledgment reflects Dr. Ngeow‘s unwavering commitment to delivering personalized and advanced cancer care to patients in Hunterdon County and beyond.
