Stefano Magno, Breast surgeon, Chief of Center for Integrative Oncology at Agostino Gemelli University Policlinic, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Gary Rodin et al, published in The Lancet Oncology:
“‘If cancer care is to meet the needs of those it serves while sustaining the humanity of the workforce delivering it, systems must be redesigned to prioritise the whole person, not only the disease.
This design should embed relational and ethical practices within the very structure of oncology: in how health workers are trained, research is funded, quality is measured, and services are organised.
The human crisis of cancer care is not a failure of compassion of individual health professionals; it is a failure of design, investment, and accountability.'”
