N2 - Comprehensive cancer centers are an important component of cancer control efforts, that have evolved over time. Significant variation exists internationally in the setting, context, and healthcare models in which they operate. Greater clarity is needed regarding the defining characteristics and core functions of comprehensive cancer centers that distinguish them from other types of cancer centers, to inform accreditation programs. The potential impact of comprehensive cancer centers at the patient, provider, organization, system, and societal levels must also be understood to justify the development and continued support, and inform measurements of success. The findings of this chronological scoping review are valuable as they inform refinement and development of comprehensive cancer centers and cancer control efforts, highlighting key priority areas for that require future focus.
