Abstract

With more treatment options in oncology lead to better outcomes and more favorable side effect profiles, patients are living longer-with higher quality of life-than ever, with a growing survivor population. As the needs of patients and providers evolve, and technology advances, cancer care is subject to change. This review explores the myriad of changes in the current oncology landscape with a focus on the patient perspective and patient-centered care.
