Highlights From Volume 41, Number 4 Oncology Issues

From precision medicine to psychosocial care to navigation for a diverse population, the latest issue Oncology Issues brings insights into not just institutional and administrative barriers to treatment, but areas of care that directly impact the lived experience of those navigating the cancer care continuum.

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, developed a novel Pre-Intake Navigation (PIN) program, which identifies and resolves early financial and insurance barriers, enabling patients to access timely, high-quality cancer care with less anxiety and fewer delays. PIN shifts financial navigation from a late-stage, reactive task to an early, standardized, patient‑centered process embedded in the call center workflow.
