Help policymakers understand the real issues affecting people with cancer by planning a Sit In My Chair visit. Independent community oncology practices can host state and federal lawmakers and highlight the patient’s treatment journey. Our three-step guide makes it easy for your practice. https://bit.ly/4cJgRjq #CancerCare #CommunityOncology

Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation's Chief Patient Officer Melinda Bachini co-authored "Amplifying the Patient's Voice in Oncology Early-Phase Clinical Trials: Solutions to Burdens and Barriers," which was recently published by American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). Thank you to all the patients who participated in the spring survey that informed this publication—your insights drive meaningful change. When patients and caregivers participate in research, they make a difference by providing critical perspectives that can help shape the future of treatment options. Their participation ultimately expands clinical trials, which is essential for improving treatments and finding cures. The paper is available here: https://lnkd.in/gJXd9JGQ #ASCO #patientvoices #HopeInResearch #patientadvocacy #clinicaltrials

Self-advocacy means giving yourself the tools and information you need to feel confident about asking questions, communicating your needs, and participating as the strongest member of your care team. Self-advocacy is about empowering you to be the leader of that care team and we're here to help. https://lnkd.in/er76YzT #canceradvocacy #healthcare #oncology

May 20 is #ClinicalTrialsDay, and we honor the #TrailblazersAmongUs who work as clinical research professionals to bring innovative therapies to patients. For 10 years, Alice Chen has been one of these trailblazers on our team. Together with her colleagues, Alice has been instrumental in managing some of our phase 3 #oncology trials from the beginning to successful completion. Read Alice’s story to find out what motivates her to innovate for our patients and why she thinks working in #ClinicalResearch is one of the best jobs in the world. https://lnkd.in/dVX4p6u5 #CTD2024 #WeAreNovocure #patientforward

Sharing in honor #ClinicalTrialsDay2024 on Monday May 20th: There are many barriers to conducting complex clinical research in remote/rural community oncology offices. In the ever-evolving environment of inclusion and diversity, we need to be able to meet the needs of our patients by providing cutting edge care closer to home. The best way to accomplish this task is to have the capability of successfully completing clinical research activities in non-traditional ways. While the benefits of AI are making waves through the medical world, we can never replace the physical need of caregivers in proximity to our patients. About 2.5 years ago, I was challenged by our Clinical Trials Medical Director, to think of creative ways to perform clinical research duties remotely. In other words, 'Stacey, make the impossible happen." Challenge accepted! Through the use of technology and innovation, we were able to complete our first remote research visit within a few weeks. Fast forward about a year when our cancer center nursing leadership team then challenged us to get involved in innovative nursing research to improve our patient outcomes. Immediately, the remote research visit process came to mind. The initial process that I developed, had some challenges and I wanted to see what we could do to improve the workflow. I recruited the help of two of our regional research nurses and a regional site nurse manager to help brainstorm ways to approach the project that would produce outcomes data. With the help of our small but mighty team, my initial brainchild evolved into the outcome pictured below! Lauren Cook, Madison Skotcher, and Meghan Rousseau (not pictured), thank you! I may have had the initial idea, but you ladies MADE IT HAPPEN! I am beyond grateful to them and to the leadership team Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center for their support, encouragement, and recognition along the way.

In oncology, where research evolves rapidly, staying ahead is crucial. That’s where Living Systematic Reviews (LSRs) come into play. Unlike traditional reviews, LSRs continuously update with new evidence, ensuring that guidelines remain current and relevant. For clinicians, this means informed decision-making that reflects the latest advancements, leading to better patient outcomes. For researchers, LSRs help prioritize studies that address current gaps. And for patients, it means treatments based on the most up-to-date, robust evidence. In a field where lives depend on timely, precise care, LSRs are essential to bridging the gap between new discoveries and clinical practice. This is what Oncoscope-AI does. #Oncology #LivingSystematicReviews #PatientCare #EvidenceBasedMedicine #cancerresearch #OncoScope-AI

“Getting to what the patient cares about, is how you choose their treatment”, emphasized by Dr. Abraham Vergese, MD, MACP at American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2024. This principle resonates deeply with our work at Magnolia Innovation. By integrating patient and HCP perspectives, we equip our clients with the insights needed to craft personalized strategies that truly cater to the most vulnerable patients. #asco2024 #magnoliainnovation #patientsfirst #mkg #medicalknowledgegroup #strategy #marketresearch #strategy #consulting #physicianconsultants
