Navigation in oncology has demonstrated benefits for people at risk for or diagnosed with cancer, such as shorter time to diagnosis and treatement, increased patient and caregiver knowledge, better adherence to care, and improved quality of life. In addition, benefits to healthcare institutions, such as cost reductions through reduced rates of emergency department visits, and readmission and decreased outmigration of newly diagnosed patients, are being identified.
肿瘤导航已证明对有患癌风险或已确诊癌症的人群有益，比如缩短诊断和治疗时间、增加患者及护理人员的知识、更好地坚持治疗以及改善生活质量。此外，人们也认识到肿瘤导航对医疗机构的益处，例如通过降低急诊就诊率、再入院率以及减少新确诊患者的外流来降低成本。
