Patient and provider perspectives on delivery of oral cancer therapies.
Investigators conducted a qualitative study exploring the range of patient and provider perspectives on oral cancer therapies. Through semi-structured interviews with patients and providers at a tertiary referral center and a county safetynet hospital in Dallas, Texas, they found that nearly all providers described challenges engaging with and educating patients about oral cancer therapies. Despite their initial hypothesis, the researchers also found that safetynet patients encountered few barriers accessing oral therapies when compared to patients receiving care in the tertiary referral center.
