Abstract

Georgia's Distinguished Cancer Clinicians and Scholars (DCCS) program, aimed at improving cancer care, faced challenges as rural and minority areas still show high cancer mortality rates. A Return on Investment (ROI) analysis showed a promising 5:2 return, leading to a recommendation for increased funding to address disparities in underserved regions.
