The purpose of this supplement is to summarize the state of our knowledge about the interfaces among providers of the types of care needed for cancer and what we know about how health care and the community context affects those interfaces and the types of care. We use the issue of interfaces to raise the point that concentrating on guidelines for types of care like screening, diagnostic procedures, surgery and treatment will not be sufficient to improve the quality of cancer care overall.
