To examine how sociodemographic characteristics, oncology specialist availability, and institutional cancer programs influence patient enrollment in cancer treatment trials, particularly among older adults.
Evaluated system- and provider-level determinants of clinical trial accrual across oncology care settings.
Assessed strategies to improve trial participation among historically underrepresented patient demographics.
Accrual to cancer treatment clinical trials remains critically limited, with disproportionately low representation observed among elderly populations.
Partnership and coordinated engagement with professional oncology societies represent an actionable mechanism to strengthen trial accrual.
