Focus on Outcomes
Making a Difference Where it Matters Most
Delays in cancer diagnosis and treatment increase the risk of death and healthcare costs. Each month of delay can cut survival by 10-15% in relative terms, erasing the benefits of treatments like chemotherapy.
Cancer care is complex, involving many doctors, specialties, and facilities, while insurer pre-approvals often add days or weeks of delay. This challenge affects everyone—private practices often lack the financial incentives to invest in patient navigation as a key part of cancer care, while health plans face higher costs when delays lead to worse outcomes.
