Kashyap Patel: How does Real World Evidence Matter?

Kashyap Patel, Medical Director of the International Oncology Network, shared a post on LinkedIn by Lester Poon, Chief Business Development Officer at Exactis InnovationExactis, adding:

“I am so much honored to be addressed a renaissance man of cancer care by Lester! Addressing disparities! How does Real World Evidence Matter?

Since the passage of 21st century cures act, Rwe data matters a lot to bridge gap in lack of race and ethnic representation in research eventually enabling us to understand why medicines do not work same in different populations!

Please listen to my discussion with Lester to dive deep into current issues in healthcare including RWE, single payer system and lot more.”

Quoting Lester Poon’s post:

“Should the US adopt a single payer system? Are payers to blame for the current state of the US healthcare system?

On this month’s episode of ‘What’s with RWE?’, I was joined by Dr. Kashyap Patel to tackle all the simple questions about US healthcare.

For those of you unfamiliar with Kashyap, he was the Past President of the Community Oncology Alliance, Medical Director of the International Oncology Network, Founder of No One Left Alone, Chair for the Biosimilars and Clinical Affairs Committee for the Association of Cancer Care Centers, CEO of Carolina Blood and Cancer Care Associates
P.A., author and practicing medical oncologist.

Aside from sharing his extensive work in oncology, Kashyap talks about how he started his journey in India, playing in Mahatma Gandhi’s home, to becoming one of the leading voices for community oncology practices in the US.
