Multidisciplinary care influenced therapy choices but did not substantially shorten treatment delays for patients with sarcoma.

Oncology stakeholders are navigating new policies as the landscape quickly evolves, according to Ryan Haumschild, PharmD, MS, MBA, CPEL.

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to democratize precision oncology, but it must be implemented thoughtfully.

In a time of skyrocketing oncology drug costs, the role of pharmacists in managing patients’ treatment and keeping care in the outpatient setting is more urgent than ever.

Broader integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in precision oncology depends on overcoming barriers such as trust and transparency, according to Davey Daniel, MD.

Patients with hematologic malignancies face ongoing survivorship challenges as providers struggle to coordinate care, according to Brian Koffman, MDCM, DCFP, FCFP, DABFP, MSEd.

Panelists discussed the ingredients of successful handoffs at the time of cancer diagnosis and ways to collaborate as screening capabilities evolve.

As therapeutic advances enable patients with cancer to live longer, greater attention is needed to support the goal of survivorship, starting at diagnosis.

From proactive recruitment to academic-community partnerships, Hope Krebill highlights ways to improve clinical trial participation.
