In the lead up to ASCO 2024, we hosted a discussion on the dynamic landscape of oncology today, looking through the lens of this year’s meeting theme: the art and science of cancer care. Within two featured mini panels, we reviewed key trends and innovations and highlighted how intersections between art and science can help us change the face and future of the cancer experience. Touching on areas like advocacy, AI, screening and therapeutic advances, this can’t miss conversation will help us envision a more effective and compassionate future in oncology.  

The Art: The art of improving patient care. How industry collaborations, data-based messaging and campaigns and advocacy are helping to reach more patients earlier and more holistically.

Health worker burnout is soaring. A global shortage of providers, an aging population and more complicated Medicare requirements, has increased stress and exhaustion for HCPs. Innovative solutions are needed to ensure high-quality patient care and a sustainable health system. This panel will discuss how AI is helping alleviate pressure on providers while still prioritizing patient privacy and safety. From summarizing journals, to asking an AI agent about dosing or side effects, AI is removing friction so health workers can handle complex engagements, listening, and building relationships.

With innovative new approaches to diagnosis and treatment in oncology, the cancer mortality rate has dropped year over year for the last decade. But there is still work to be done, especially as we see increasing cancer incidence among certain populations. But what work is happening today that will shape the face of cancer and the patient experience in the future? Wendy Short Bartie (Bristol Myers Squibb), Maimah Karmo (Tigerlily Foundation), and Emily Poe (Real Chemistry) bring together a tapestry of perspectives, from advocacy and equity, research, prevention and holistic care to envision the next 10 years of progress in cancer.

While there is undeniable hope for the future of cancer care, systemic barriers still impact access for many patients – particularly those in underserved communities. This session, originally recorded in front of a live audience at SXSW 2024, examines how increasing collaboration and partnerships among organizations that touch all aspects of the cancer journey and reach patients, providers and treatment centers, is critical to expanding access to optimal cancer care and making the goals of the “Cancer Moonshot” a reality. Hear from City of Hope, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and American Cancer Society (ACS) about how they are approaching partnerships to create a future where every cancer patient has access to the care they need.
