Conference Summary
Cancer is evolving from an acute disease to one requiring chronic management. But advances in treatment have not benefited all patients equally, and payers – in an effort to focus on quality and value – are demanding more evidence to support coverage and payment decisions. At the same time, much of the delivery of cancer care has shifted to community settings. In this environment, translating clinical research into practical tools is critical to meet the evolving needs of providers and patients.
Policymakers, industry leaders, and advocates are all working to improve cancer care. Are you connected to the right decision-makers and information to make an impact? Join us at this first-of-its-kind conference, positioned at the crossroads of critical policy choices, business opportunities, and patient perspectives, for a 360-degree view of the evolving cancer care delivery model. Experts will assess the landscape, describe innovative solutions, and engage in dialogue about the future of cancer care. Speakers include Dan Smith, President of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network; Otis Brawley, Chief Medical Officer of the American Cancer Society and Elizabeth Edwards, keynote speaker.
