Dive into a comprehensive look at the implementation of a system-wide navigation program that leverages data to identify barriers, enhance patient education, and support vulnerable populations throughout their cancer journey.

Despite the essential role of clinical trials in advancing cancer treatments, patients with developmental disabilities remain underrepresented. A groundbreaking study reveals how navigators and healthcare providers can make trials more accessible for all.




This study analyzed how specific barriers to cancer care affect time from diagnosis to treatment and the navigator’s time spent with the patient, revealing that emotional, social, and logistical challenges significantly influence navigator efforts.

With cancer incidence projected to rise dramatically, the American Cancer Society’s BEACON Initiative pilot to develop sustainable patient navigation programs highlights the critical role of navigation in improving access to timely diagnosis and treatment in resource-limited settings.

Explore the unique challenges faced by patients with ocular melanoma and discover actionable recommendations to improve care coordination, communication, and survivorship support.

This groundbreaking study reveals how AI-enabled interventions have the potential to revolutionize patient navigation by reducing burnout, increasing capacity, and creating sustainable healthcare solutions tailored to individual patient needs.
