About
Anand Shah is a leading voice at the intersection of healthcare policy, clinical oncology, and medical technology. His research critically examines the translation of advanced therapies from clinical trials into accessible, economically sustainable patient care. Shah is best known for his seminal work on the economics of proton therapy, particularly his 2016 paper "Beyond a moonshot: insurance coverage for proton therapy" (27 citations), which dissects the complex barriers between technological innovation in radiation oncology and real-world patient access. This work has become a cornerstone for policymakers and hospital administrators navigating the high-stakes decisions of coverage and reimbursement for costly cancer treatments. Beyond this, his broader contributions focus on value-based care models and the regulatory pathways for emerging medical devices. With a citation impact that continues to grow among health services researchers and oncologists, Shah’s scholarship provides a pragmatic, evidence-based framework for ensuring that cutting-edge medical breakthroughs do not remain a "moonshot" for the few, but become a standard of care for the many.
