The Hidden Barrier Causing Cancer Care Delays
An evidence-based analysis from cross-sector oncology leaders on why transportation is the most immediate leverage point to improve outcomes, equity, and trial participation.

Cancer outcomes don’t just depend on treatment innovation. They depend on whether patients can physically access care. Leaders across oncology identified logistical barriers—especially transportation—as a primary driver of missed appointments, treatment disruption, clinical trial attrition, and avoidable mortality.
- ~30% of cancer patients report logistical or transportation barriers
- 77% of oncology professionals had patients require emergency care due to transportation issues
- Transportation delays linked to >2× higher mortality risk
