In an article published by HemOnc Today, it states that “Staffing shortages at radiation oncology clinics are causing treatment delays and increased patient anxiety, according to results of a national survey from American Society for Radiation Oncology.
Following the release of the survey results Tuesday, radiation oncologists met in Washington, D.C., as part of ASTRO’s Advocacy Day to push for policies that will reduce current stresses on cancer clinics and increase access and equity for those seeking cancer care, according to an ASTRO press release.
Key findings from the survey of radiation oncologists include the following:
- More than nine in 10 radiation oncologists reported that their practice faces a staff shortage.
- Over half of radiation oncologists (53%) reported that the shortages are creating treatment delays, with 44% indicating staff shortages have increased patient anxiety.”
