Stacey Tinianov, Founder and Executive Director at Advocates for Collaborative Education, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Celebrated my birthday with a trip to American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) headquarters to participate in the Spring ASCO Guidelines Evidence-Based Medicine Committee (EBMC) meeting.
While we meet virtually every month to review and approve the rapidly growing library of ASCO guidelines, nothing compares to the conversations that happen in the room with these multidisciplinary rockstars.
Nearly thirteen years after my diagnosis, it is not lost on me that I am able to continue to celebrate birthdays thanks to the dedication of clinicians and researchers like these individuals.
Our purpose may sound simple: Provide the best guidance based on the evidence.
But the execution of such an aim is not so simple.
Guidelines aren’t just about treating cancer-they are supportive guides for the treatment of a whole person. And the conversations in the room showcase that this group understands that quality of life is personal and a key priority for many people with a diagnosis or history of cancer.
Grateful to be in the room. Grateful to be on the planet.
And now on to AACR26.”
