Community oncology and site networks
The clinics where most cancer patients are actually treated, increasingly organised into large networks that also run trials.
In the US, over half of patients are treated in community practices organised by The US Oncology Network (McKesson), OneOncology (TPG/AmerisourceBergen), Florida Cancer Specialists, American Oncology Network, and hospital systems; Sarah Cannon Research Institute (HCA/McKesson JV) and NCI's NCORP bring trials to them. Vertical integration with distributors and payer models (Enhancing Oncology Model) shape drug choice and trial access.
How it works
Networked practices share EHR, pathways, purchasing, and research infrastructure to deliver care close to home.
- Access near home
- Large trial-eligible populations
- Variable adoption of new biomarker testing
- Consolidation and drug-margin incentives
