According to the U.S today’s article, by 2020 the United States could face a shortage of as many as 4,080 cancer doctors, according to a recent report issued by the American Society for Clinical Oncology. “As of 2007, we were in equilibrium,” says Dr. Dean Bajorin, an oncologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and co-chairman of the society’s Workforce Implementation Working Group, which developed the report. “It looks like the demand for services appears comparable to provision of services.”
