Abstract
Health-care cost growth is unsustainable,
and the current level of spending is harming our economy and our
patients. This
commentary describes the scope of the health-care
spending problem and the particular factors in cancer care that
contribute
to the problem, reflecting in part presentations
and discussions from an Institute of Medicine National Cancer Policy
Forum
Workshop held in October 2012. Presenters at the
workshop identified a number of steps that the oncology community can
take
to reduce the rate of growth in cancer-care costs
while maintaining or improving upon the quality of care. This commentary
aims to highlight opportunities for the oncology
community to take a leadership role in delivering affordable,
high-quality
cancer care.
