Several physicians at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey were selected as a 'Jersey Choice Top Doctor' by New Jersey Monthly magazine. As chief of their respective divisions and sections they provide leadership and represent the outstanding patient care provided. An independent research firm was commissioned by the magazine to conduct the 2017 survey. Thousands of New Jersey-based doctors were asked to give physician recommendations, which resulted in more than 3,300 individual nominations. A select group of physicians were named to the final list following a professional review by a panel of doctors.

Tumors acquire nutrition necessary for growth and survival from the body of the patient in which they reside. Although these nutrients are predominantly provided by the circulating blood supply, the knowledge of how they are used by tumors is incomplete. Identifying tumor nutrients and how they are used may reveal novel approaches to cancer therapy. Research from investigators at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and Princeton University, published in the October 18 edition of Nature, finds that circulating lactate rather than glucose is the prominent metabolic fuel source for tumors and most normal tissues.
