State-of-the-art cancer care is erratically applied across the health care system, according to a report,“Ensuring Quality Cancer Care,” published by the Institute of Medicine's National Cancer Policy Board. More research needs to be done to find out why, how to measure the current quality of care, and how to improve the quality of care with practice guidelines and greater information dissemination, the report recommended.The report, released at a press conference in Washington, DC, shows differences in what is known and what is being applied today by health care practitioners in the care and treatment of the estimated 8 million people with cancer. It makes clear that some subsets of the population received the best cancer care in the world, while others get far short of even the standard care, according to Robert Young, MD, president of Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, and a board member.
