Rena Conti

Rena Conti studies the economics of cancer care access at Boston University, with particular focus on how drug pricing, reimbursement policy, and practice economics affect cancer care availability in rural communities. Her research has quantified the financial pressures that drive rural oncology practice closures and identified policy interventions that can sustain cancer care delivery in low-volume rural settings. She has advocated for teleoncology reimbursement reforms and value-based payment models that align financial incentives with equitable rural cancer care delivery.
