Hematologist Dr. Matthew Taub specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of blood cancers. As a physician with Optimum Oncology Hematology Associates, Dr. Matthew Taub follows treatment guidelines released by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).
As of 2018, NCCN has raised more than $30 million for trials of promising treatment options for multiple cancers, including hematologic malignancies, breast cancer, and sarcomas. In collaboration with research cancer centers, NCCN member institutions, and biotechnology and drug development companies, NCCN funds all phases of oncology-focused clinical trials through its Oncology Research Program (ORP). In addition to financial support, NCCN plays a major role in organizing and monitoring trials and results analysis and publishing study results.
Recently, NCCN ORP was awarded $2 million by healthcare multinational Eli Lilly. The grant will fund research covering the process that underlies CDK4/6 resistance in advanced breast cancer patients.
