While PNS shows promise, larger controlled studies are needed to establish the long-term efficacy and safety profile of this...

Cancer is a major health threat in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Patient navigation has emerged as a strategy to address this, but the scope and impact of patient navigation for cancer care in SSA remains unclear. We aimed to comprehensively map the existing literature on patient navigation interventions for cancer care in SSA. A scoping review was conducted using a standardized 3-step search strategy. Eligible studies involved a patient navigation intervention for cancer care in SSA. Data were...
