Bob Li, SVP Global Head of Medical Affairs of Oncology at AstraZeneca, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“As an oncologist, I’ve dedicated my career to advancing science for people living with cancer. My vision for advancing health equity has always been about ensuring every patient, regardless of their background or location, receives the best possible care. It’s clear to me that true progress extends beyond the lab, reaching into how we empower patients throughout their treatment journey. That’s why I’m incredibly proud to share the latest white paper: ’Optimizing Care Delivery for Patients With Cancer: Integrating Patient Awareness of Evidence-Based Care, Engagement in Key Decision-Making Points, and Shared Decision-making.’
This report independently produced by the IQVIA Institute for Human Data Science incorporating an Unmet Cancer Needs Sentiment Analysis performed by Outcomes4Me in collaboration with AstraZeneca, insights from a patient advocacy expert roundtable, and additional IQVIA research, dives deep into the critical elements of patient-centric care. It highlights persistent barriers, from limited patient awareness of clinical guidelines to challenges in fostering shared decision-making, that prevent meaningful engagement and optimal outcomes for patients.
The insights from this report underscore a fundamental truth. When patients are informed, engaged, and equipped to participate in their care, we see better outcomes, reduced disparities, and a more cost-effective healthcare experience. This isn’t just about better medicine; it’s about making the cancer journey more human, effective, and equitable for all.
This commitment to patient-centric care is at the heart of our work at AstraZeneca, where we’re proud to be partnering with healthcare systems from over 40 countries to deliver optimal, evidence-based care, empower patient decisions, and foster resilient healthcare systems.
I invite you to read the full report and join the conversation on how we can collectively drive this essential shift towards truly patient-centric cancer care.
