for allegedly trying to monopolize cancer care in Northeast Philadelphia failed to convince a federal judge that they have a “reasonable probability” of winning those antitrust claims.by the Alliance Cancer Specialists
The judge called the physicians’ antitrust claims “lifeless” and said she was not convinced that the doctors would suffer irreparable harm if she allowed Jefferson to proceed with its planto treat cancer patients at those three hospitals. Jefferson’s action took effect this past Saturday, Sept. 16. at Torresdale. It includes an infusion suite for chemotherapy. Earlier, Jefferson had evicted Alliance from a building where it had an infusion center, according to court filings.
While Judge Scott ruled against the oncologists, based on legal standards for issuing a temporary restraining order, she said some factors weighed in their favor.
