AONN+ and ACCCNN join forces to advance the role of the navigator across medical specialties beyond oncology.

With age a known risk factor for most cancers, the expectation is for older adults to have the highest frequency of new diagnoses. However, recent cancer incidence rates show that with each successive generation since the baby boomers, cancer incidence has decreased, with one exception—Generation X.

Findings from a cross-sectional study of patient navigators, pathologists, and clinicians suggest a need for further interventions and education to support clinicians and navigators disseminating precision oncology.

In this third installment of a 5-part series, the authors provide the tools for navigators to effectively guide patients through the clinical trial experience.

The affordability of medication remains a substantial obstacle to care for many patients with cancer.

Through its commitment to continuing education, adherence to professional standards, and unwavering focus on health equity, the Navigation Nation training program equips navigators with the skills, knowledge, and support needed to navigate the complexities of cancer care effectively.
