The cost of cancer care in the U.S. is projected to reach $246 billion by 2030, creating unprecedented financial strain for patients and families. A newly published review co-authored by physicians and leaders at Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (FCS) highlights the essential role of community oncology in reducing this burden. The findings demonstrate that community-based practices deliver high-quality, clinically equivalent care at significantly lower costs compared to hospital-based settings, helping minimize the financial toxicity too often experienced by patients. At FCS, we remain focused on advancing value-driven care that supports both exceptional outcomes and long-term sustainability for our patients and the healthcare system. 🔗 Learn more about the impact of community oncology: https://lnkd.in/edz7TNMW Lucio N.
