Research Alert: Experts from RWJBarnabas Health and Rutgers Cancer Institute, New Jersey’s only National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, recently published a review examining the challenges of diagnosing and treating leukemia and lymphoma during pregnancy. Rutgers Cancer Institute is a leader nationally and globally in these highly complex scenarios.
