Community oncology’s growing role in the future of cancer care (Sponsored)

Community oncology is playing an increasingly important role in how cancer care is delivered across the United States, with a growing share of patients treated outside large academic medical centers. In this sponsored episode of The Top Line, host Chris Hayden sits down with Kirk Kaminsky, executive vice president and group president of North American Pharmaceutical Services for McKesson, to examine what this shift means for patients, providers and the industry.

Kaminsky explains how advances in cancer science have transformed many diagnoses into long-term conditions, increasing the need for accessible, high-quality care in local communities. He discusses the challenges community practices face as innovation accelerates, including evolving reimbursement models, operational pressures and the adoption of new technologies.

The conversation also explores the role of community oncology in expanding access to clinical trials and accelerating research, as well as how artificial intelligence is being used to improve both clinical and administrative workflows. Kaminsky shares his outlook on the next five to 10 years of cancer care and why supporting community oncology will be critical to continued progress. Listen to the full interview to learn more.
