The 2025 ASCO Quality Care Symposium, held October 10–11 in Chicago, Illinois, brought together oncology professionals for a premier event dedicated to advancing excellence in cancer care. Organized by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the symposium focused on improving the quality, safety, and value of oncology practice, with key themes including implementation science, patient-centered care, health equity, and system-level innovations aimed at enhancing outcomes and reducing disparities.
Through interactive sessions, abstract presentations, and panel discussions, attendees explored how to translate evidence into practice, strengthen care coordination, and adopt new technologies that support quality improvement across the oncology landscape. The symposium once again served as a cornerstone event for those committed to ensuring that every patient receives the highest standard of cancer care.
Our team at OncoDaily has selected a few posts from ASCOQLTY25 Day 2 that you should not miss!
American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO):
“Start your day 2 of ASCOQLTY25 with a poster session and complimentary continental breakfast!
Join us throughout the day for a variety of on-site connection opportunities in addition to the scientific and educational sessions.”
“I had the privilege of presenting this weekend at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium on our work at Dartmouth Cancer Center to optimize regional delivery of bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) therapy.
Our initiative focuses on standardizing and optimizing BiTE therapy delivery at our main center, then expanding safe and equitable access through our rural satellite network—so that geography is never a barrier to innovative cancer care.
It was inspiring to connect with colleagues dedicated to advancing quality, safety, and access in oncology. Many thanks to our incredible multidisciplinary team – Ogechi Agogbuo, Heidi Kuznia, Katie Karkowski, Melissa Pomeroy, Aditya Sharma, Christi Hayes, Keisuke Shirai, Ivy Riano, M.D., and Charles Gaulin — whose collaboration made this work possible.
“I attended ASCOQLTY25 where a plethora of research is shared focusing on the human being diagnosed and how the cancer and the treatment affects their living life.
Names for this research vary: cancer care delivery, supportive care, psychosocial oncology, quality of life, health services, implementation science, survivorship, human centered…my point is, cancer requires so so so much more than medical treatment.
In case anyone needs a short video that helps explain why research matters.”
“ASCOQLTY25…hot take right out of the gates. SDM isn’t doing what we would hope. Love the idea of acknowledging right form the beginning that’s we can do better needs work.”
“Check it out!
Survey results from patients and caregivers with lung cancer on what would make it easier for them to participate in high quality clinical trials. Having a navigator they trust and flexibility in scheduling and ease stood out as priority (90%) Other factors were costs associated and wanting more asynchronous education options.
Time to get more structured navigation in trials as well as de-centralized models of trial delivery.”
“Honored to present at ASCOQLTY25.
Our research highlights the critical role of patient navigation in ensuring timely access to and completion of care for cervical cancer patients. This approach drives improved survival outcomes, reduced patient stress, and enhanced health access equity.
The Radiation Medicine team is excited to showcase this important work again later this month at the Northwell Health Ambulatory Quality QI Poster Contest, celebrating National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) Healthcare Quality Week.”
“We’re thrilled to be at ASCOQLTY25 highlighting the work of the POEM team and improvement in education and adherence assessment as well as decreased ED visits when a pharmacist is part of the care team!”
“Professionally it is a huge honor to have our American Cancer Society Project ECHO work on display at ASCO Quality. The people who work in the field of Cancer Survivorship are true heroes! I learned so much by co-leading this ECHO program with Maggie Rogers, MPH
We introduced the idea of incorporating Lived Experience Experts into this program and it was a huge success! We took the words ‘Nothing about us without us’ to heart and the impact was amazing!”
“Behind every patient is a caregiver holding things together.
To advance quality cancer care, we must support the supporters—identifying and addressing their needs with compassion and precision.
Our ASCOQLTY25 poster, ‘The Hidden Toll: Social Isolation and Affordability Barriers Among Cancer Caregivers,’ highlights the growing challenges they face.
Over half of U.S. adults—caregivers or not—report social isolation and financial strain. Among cancer caregivers, younger adults are especially vulnerable, reporting higher feelings of exclusion than their older counterparts.
By recognizing these hidden burdens, we can design interventions that meet caregivers where they are and strengthen the foundation of patient-centered care.”
“That’s a wrap on ASCOQLTY25!
What an amazing opportunity to represent the Association of Cancer Care Centers with Laura D’Onofrio, presenting poster outcomes of programs ranging from SDOH, Patient Navigation, CAR-T and Oncology State Societies.
It’s been enlightening to attending session that collectively explore how to enhance the quality, safety, efficiency, and patient‐centeredness of oncology care—especially through shared decision making, ethical communication, implementation strategies, and alignment of treatment with patient values.
See you next year American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Quality Care Symposium in Boston!”
American Society of Clinical Oncology:
“As we close out ASCOQLTY25, we are grateful to all of our attendees, in person and online, for being a part of the conversation as we work together to make progress in the quality, safety, and efficiency of Cancer Care delivery.”
