Understanding the Role of Advanced Practice Providers in Oncology in the United States

Year: 2018

Type: article

Study design: Observational Study

Abstract: We identified 5,350 oncology APPs and conclude that number may be as high as 7,000. Survey results suggest that practices that incorporate APPs routinely rely on them for patient care. Given the increasing number of patients with and survivors of cancer, APPs are important to ensure access to quality cancer care now and in the future.
