Nearly a third of the nation’s population is expected to experience cancer in their lifetime, most of whom are aging baby boomers who will undergo screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Care needs to be provided and paid for, raising complex issues across delivery systems. Because this is such a pressing issue, ECRI Institute and the National Cancer Institute are convening a free public service conference, “Cancer Care Delivery in a Rapidly Changing Healthcare System,” on the campus of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Registration is free; advance registration is required. Press are encouraged and welcome to attend.
