Modern cancer treatment is a complex process that requires the cooperation of individuals with a range of specialties and backgrounds. In this Perspective, a multidisciplinary team of authors propose a conceptual model to improve patient-centered cancer care. This model describes the roles of the active caregivers (for example, physicians), basic supportive caregivers (for example, psychologists) and community support (for example, advocacy groups) in providing the full continuum of the cancer treatment experience.
