Dr. Shamar Young Highlights the Need for Innovative Solutions
In a recent article published on KevinMD.com, our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Shamar Young, delves into the pressing issue of geographic disparities in advanced cancer care. He emphasizes that a patient's location can significantly influence their access to cutting-edge treatments, such as theragnostics and transarterial radioembolization (TARE). Dr. Young discusses the complexities involved in delivering these advanced therapies, including the need for specialized expertise and resources that may not be readily available in all healthcare settings.
To bridge these gaps, Dr. Young advocates for innovative solutions like specialized third-party services. He highlights how companies like TeleDaaS can centralize expertise across multiple healthcare systems, ensuring consistent, high-quality care while maintaining local delivery. By providing specialized dosimetry expertise and protocol updates, these services enable smaller systems to offer advanced treatments without overwhelming their resources.
Dr. Young's insights underscore the importance of reimagining care delivery models to ensure that all patients, regardless of their geographic location, have access to optimal cancer treatments.
