“ASCOQLTY24 is about to begin! Fantastic to spend time with Dr. Natalie Dickson MD FASCO and meeting chair Dr.
Raymond Osarogiagbon! The first session (Patient Navigation in Cancer Care) begins in 10 minutes!”

Fumiko Ladd Chino:

“Amazed to hear Drs. Ethan Basch and Deborah Schrag would meet at Java Girl while Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to discuss Health Services Research. It’s where I first met Dr. Emeline Aviki and we started our livelong collaboration to reduce financial Toxicity and improve access to care.

Dr. Emeline Aviki and I meeting for the first time at Java Girl. How many Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center collaborations have started over a cup of coffee here?”

Stacey Tinianov:

Phuong Gallagher:

“The overall ratio of Clinical Trials enrollment is 8 (industry):1 (federal). There is an increasing reliance in the U.S. on industry to conduct cancer clinical research. This highlights comparative UNDERinvestment in federally sponsored research.”

” ‘Why is cancer care a maze, and why is that maze so complex?’ Dr. Manali Patel, ASCOQLTY24 on the provider perspective on patient-centered navigation.”

Joseph Kim:

“Excited to hear about patient navigation in cancer, from theory to practice ASCOQLTY24 improving patient care.”

Manisha Bhattacharya:

“Packed room at ASCOQLTY24 here in SF! Manali Patel asking tough Q’s about the intention and lof patient navigation programs. I agree with her that navigation is an (essential) band-aid on a clunky healthcare system. We owe it to pts to adapt programs to local context and prove value to payers/orgs.”

Melody Schiaffino:

“Dr. Grace Smith presents a case encapsulating the reality of financial toxicity for older adults, showing the compounding effects of income, health literacy, access, and more. This is before taking into account treatment making navigation essential support.”

Fumiko Ladd Chino:

“Interventions to increase serious illness conversations often focus on acute moments in the care trajectory. This study suggests that ongoing, staged approaches are vital for goal-concordant care and may be better integrated into workflows.

Mohana Roy:

“Inspiring Joe Simone quality lecture on perseverance of a journey of finding a problem (uncontrolled symptoms), finding a solution( ePRO), implementation and more.”

Phuong Gallagher:

“Technology and social support services are critical to supporting patient navigation, but we need to be diligent in ensuring that this does not widen disparities in patient care.”
