Image Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy Expands Access to a Multidisciplinary Cancer Care Model that Optimizes Outcomes for Underserved Rural Medical Beneficiaries

2024-04-01

Abstract excerpt

The shortage of physicians in rural communities contributes to increased mortality rates among Medicare beneficiaries. This increase in mortality risk is commonly due to diseases such as heart disease and cancer, including melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC).
