Access to Quality Cancer Care

Within the U.S. population, patients across localities and among certain ethnic and minority groups receive significantly disparate cancer care. Research has shown that those who receive substandard primary and cancer-related care have greater incidences of cancer and more cancer deaths.
OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the Access to Quality Cancer Care Team are to:

  • Decrease the national gap between those who receive quality care and those who do not by 50% by 2005.
  • Formulate a national strategy linking cancer data (including prevention, screening, treatment, and rehabilitation) into useful national and local measures that ensure access to quality cancer care by 2005.
