he aging population is expected to lead to an increased number of cancer patients; meanwhile, the remarkable advances in cancer care will also lead to an increased number of cancer survivors. These patients require comprehensive management of their co-morbidities and the complications of their cancer and cancer treatment. MD Anderson Cancer Center remains a pioneer in the growing field of oncology hospitalists, also termed "onco-hospitalists." Their growing role in patient care was recently highlighted in a publication by the Society of Hospital Medicine. Two prominent hospitalists, Josiah Halm, M.D. and Sahitya Gadiraju, M.D., were interviewed for a podcast.
