Kimryn Rathmell: Advances in GI Cancers Are Emerging Rapidly – How Do We Meet This Moment With Courage?

Kimryn Rathmell, Chief Executive Officer of Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Advances for GI cancers are emerging rapidly, more rapidly than we can deliver on this promise to all of the people who need it. How do we meet this challenging moment with courage?

Yesterday at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, I shared why we need to expand opportunities for clinical research beyond our traditional boundaries, and to engage partners from the community to build capacity for new models of cancer research and care. Cancer care is improving, even for the hardest-to-treat gastrointestinal cancers, and we have bold opportunities to deliver individualized prevention, detection, treatment, and care.

At The James in Ohio, we are:

  • Creating new models of communication and care, meeting people where they are — rural communities and homes.
  • Expanding clinical trials access to accelerate discoveries for more people.
  • Investing in technological innovation to make people feel and — truly be — more connected.

What good ways are you and your colleagues meeting this moment of challenge? Please add a comment below.”
