The 2025 ASCO Quality Care Symposium, taking place October 10–11, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois, is a premier event dedicated to advancing excellence in cancer care.
Organized by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the symposium focuses on improving the quality, safety, and value of oncology practice. This year’s program emphasizes key themes such as implementation science, patient-centered care, health equity, and system-level innovations designed to improve outcomes and reduce disparities.
Through interactive sessions, abstract presentations, and panel discussions, attendees explore how to translate evidence into practice, strengthen care coordination, and adopt new technologies that support quality improvement across the oncology landscape. The symposium continues to be a cornerstone event for those striving to ensure that every patient receives the highest standard of cancer care.
Our team at OncoDaily has selected a few posts from ASCOQLTY25 Day 1 that you should not miss!
American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO):
“Good morning from Chicago and Day 1 of ASCOQLTY25!
If you’re here in person, join us for a complimentary continental breakfast from 7-8 a.m. (CT) before the 1st session. If you’re online, welcome! What are you most excited for?”
“Theme for ASCOQLTY25. Our welcome by the brilliant, kind, and thoughtful program chair Fumiko Ladd Chino was a good reminder that even during tough moments, it’s important to come together and celebrate evidence-based science.
Looking forward to the next 48 hours of science!”
“Excellent first session this morning at ASCO Quality Care Symposium:
‘Partners in Care: Building Bridges Through Shared Decisions.'”
“Dr. Melisa Wong shares the intricacies of shared decision making and her work on the ‘Best Case/Worst Case’ geriatric oncology communication tool in our ASCOQLTY25 session Partners in Care: Building Bridges through Shared Decisions”
“Excited to have received my ASCOQLTY25 badge and Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation Merit Award!
Our study highlights survival outcomes among patients with non–small cell lung cancer, aiming to improve equity and quality in cancer care. Looking forward to presenting our work at the ASCO Quality Care Symposium and connecting with colleagues.”
“Amazing question to leadership panel: ‘if you had a magic what would you change?’ – access to screening -PBMs -more cost efficiency, no prior auth!
Price control – embrace health technology.”
“Excellent presentation by Ryan Huey at ASCOQLTY25 today:
‘Performance characteristics of CMS’ OP-35 quality measure: Sensitive but not specific.'”
“Dr Margaret Liang: RCT tested the benefit of a one-time session near cancer tx initiation with a trained lay educator to review cost-related info.
This educational, minimal touch, PCOC intervention has the potential to reduce financial toxicity.”
“Finally got to meet Fumiko Ladd Chino IRL! ASCOQLTY25 is the best.
Already brainstorming some great ideas for collaboration!”
“And while I’m honored to be an ASCO Featured Voice highlighting the important research happening ASCOQLTY25, I’m also grateful to be here to talk about one of my passion projects: exploring the dyadic experience of a metastatic breast cancer dx and impact on caregiver burden.”
“The Business of Oncology panel ASCOQLTY25 with Katy Moore and Dr Ryan Nipp on what keeps cancer center leaders up at night.
So many good ideas have to be moved to the ‘parking lot’ if there are decreased federal investments in high quality cancer care and new cures.”
“Dr. Ryan Huey, takes the stage at ASCOQLTY25 CMS’s OP-35 quality measure, designed to flag potentially preventable chemo complications, is sensitive BUT not specific.
88% of ED visits/admits met ≥1 qualifying diagnosis. If nearly all qualify, are they all truly preventable?”
“Our team built a novel mortgage denial measure to study neighborhood-level financial exclusion. The finding: areas with higher home loan denial rates had lower cancer screening rates.
Big congrats to DrPH candidate John Bassler for presenting our work at ASCOQLTY25 and receiving a Merit Award! Reminder that housing policy is health policy.”
“Honored to present my meta-analysis on functional and quality-of-life outcomes following structured exercise in palliative lung cancer care at ASCOQLTY25.
Grateful to Manmeet Ahluwalia for his mentorship and the team at Miami Cancer Institute Research for their support. Excited to continue advancing evidence-based approaches in oncology.”
“Thanks Joshua Pritchett for representing us at the ASCOQLTY25.
Amazing leadership display through your efforts to put together work around telemedicine and prior authorization.
Thanks Wade Swenson, Ruiling Yuan, Emily McGovern, Dr Zack Schroeder and Dr Jon Ticku for collaboration!!
Can’t wait to see all our friends soon at the Mayo Clinic Health System and Mayo Clinic’s Transforming Community and Rural Healthcare 2025 conference.”
