What challenges exist in integrating cancer care with healthcare systems?
While integration has improved, several challenges remain. One significant issue is the fragmentation of care, where patients may receive different parts of their treatment from various providers who are not always well-coordinated. Another challenge is the disparity in access to care, especially in rural or underserved areas where specialized cancer treatment may not be readily available. Finally, the high cost of cancer treatments often poses a barrier to effective integration and accessibility.
