FEATURED WHITEPAPER

The Cost and Complexities of Treating Cancer are Astronomical—and on the Rise

Now, some US oncologists are collaborating with genomic labs and payers through an evidence-based technology to reduce treatment costs and improve patient outcomes.

ABSTRACT
 

Precision medicine is changing the way cancer is tested and treated in the US, but a lack of standardization and barriers to collaboration between oncologists, payers and genomic testing labs has been slowing its use.

In fact, the gap between how oncologists and payers make oncology care decisions has never been greater, and it is impeding the application of life-saving therapies.

 

The solution? The battle royale between payers and oncologists must end to ensure cancer patients are getting the most appropriate precision testing and therapies at the right stage of their treatment journeys. But how?
