Advancements in Precision Medicine and Implications for Quality, Accessible, and Equitable Cancer Care

Biomarker testing, when used appropriately, allows the cancer care team to more effectively select treatment or risk reducing interventions for patients, while improving survival outcomes and reducing adverse effects. Unfortunately, effective use of and access to biomarker testing is still highly dependent on health care coverage; patient and provider education; and patient geographic location and socioeconomic status. The NCCN Patient Advocacy Summit will provide an opportunity for a varied group of stakeholders including patients, providers, payers, patient advocacy organizations, and industry to thoughtfully discuss the importance of providing quality, accessible, and equitable cancer care to patients in need of biomarker testing and related treatment.
