While many effective interventions have been developed with the potential to significantly reduce morbidity and mortality from cancer, they are of no benefit to the health of populations if they cannot be delivered. In response to this challenge, Advancing the Science of Implementation across the Cancer Continuum provides an overview of research that can improve the delivery of evidence-based interventions in cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivorship. Chapters explore the field of implementation science and its application to practice, a broad synthesis of relevant research and case studies illustrating each cancer-focused topic area, and emerging issues at the intersection of research and practice in cancer. Both comprehensive and accessible, this book is an ideal resource for researchers, clinical and public health practitioners, medical and public health students, and health policymakers.
This book investigates how to bridge the gap between the development of effective cancer interventions and their actual delivery to populations in need. The authors, experts affiliated with the National Cancer Institute, synthesize current research and methodologies to address the persistent challenges of translating evidence-based practices into real-world clinical and public health settings. By examining the intersection of research and practice, the text provides a framework for improving outcomes across the entire cancer continuum, from prevention to survivorship.
