Geraldine Carroll, Content Manager/Podcast Producer at American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) added on Linkedin:
“Our job really is to clearly and in a compassionate way convey the magnitude of benefits as well as some of the uncertainty of the evidence.’
– Dr. Christopher Booth, Queen’s University
How do we take that evidence and frame it around what patients want their lives to look like?
How do we align cancer care with what they actually value?
Dr. Booth joined Dr. Gerald Hsu (Editor-in-Chief of the ASCO Educational Book) on the By the Book Podcast from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) to tackle these critical questions.
In this episode, they discuss the vital need to distinguish between measures on which cancer drug approvals are based – like PFS and other surrogate endpoints and physical side effect profiles – from patient-centered outcomes like quality of life, the ability to live independently, survival, and toxicities that extend beyond physical side effects.
Dr. Booth shares actionable strategies for clinicians and policymakers to re-center cancer care on shared decision-making, global access, and patient-defined priorities.
