Challenging Barriers to Community Oncology Care
Dipti Patel-Donnelly, MD, highlights challenges for physicians and patients when managing treatment of hematologic malignancies in the community setting.
The potential of new cancer therapies like chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, bispecific antibodies, and antibody drug conjugates is exciting, but their accessibility remains a challenge. Many of these treatments are currently restricted to academic centers, leaving patients in local communities with fewer options.
