This workshop examined possibilities for ensuring and improving the quality of cancer care through the oncology workforce. There is strong evidence that the U.S. oncology workforce will experience labor shortages resulting from an aging population and an inadequate number of new professionals. Additionally, the growing number of cancer survivors will further increase demand for oncology services and exacerbate the workforce shortage. Given the many factors in oncology that make its workforce concerns different from those of other sectors of the health care system, it is important to ensure that potential reforms are tailored for oncology settings.
