ASCO 2021 opens, the fairness of cancer treatment in the context of the pandemic attracts attention

From June 4th to 8th, one of the largest events in global cancer research-the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting will be held.

The theme of this year's ASCO conference is: Equity: Every Patient, Every Day, Everywhere ( Equity: Every Patient.

Throughout her career, Pierce has been committed to solving fairness issues in healthcare, especially cancer care; the pandemic has highlighted the gap in access to care and results, and from the beginning, oncologists have been prepared Good to meet a wave of late diagnosis , because patients missed screening and follow-up care, or because of the pandemic public health measures have to change the treatment plan.

But health care inequality is still deeply ingrained in the United States and the world.

This law should help increase the number of black patients participating in the trial.

They are: (1) Establish a global network of "sentinel" health care facilities to quickly collect and share data about emerging diseases and avoid covering up the epidemic (2) One that allows diagnostic tests, vaccines, treatments and other as quickly as possible Cooperatively develop disease prevention and control and treatment tools (3) Establish a global "rapid reaction force", which he describes as an international public health force, which can be used quickly if an epidemic occurs.

Call for the use of racist titles

Rhea Boyd’s message is straightforward: if we don’t call it racism, we can’t end racism in healthcare.
Many times, journal articles will find more subtle terms to avoid ugly facts.
Rhea Boyd quoted author Ta-Nehisi Coates as saying that racism in healthcare is often a heartfelt experience; racism is physically violent.
But health inequalities between certain groups of people are not inevitable—they exist because certain groups are not protected and supported.
However, the term "institutionalized racism" is rarely used in the literature.
Boyd cited 2018 reviews of 50 high-impact journals over a 13-year period and found that the term was cited only 25 times in the title or abstract.

Racism in health care is often a heartfelt experience; racism inflicts physical violence on the body.
But health inequalities between certain groups of people are not inevitable—they exist because certain groups are not protected and supported.

Pierce said that health equity "has always been at the core of ASCO," and it can be achieved through the pillars of research, education, and quality care.
ASCO has established a partnership with the Association of Community Cancer Centers to increase community-level participation in trials.
"In May," she said, "we began recruiting more than 40 clinical trial sites to test practical strategies designed to increase screening and participation of black and Latino patients.
These strategies include clinical trial field evaluation tools and mitigation of prejudice Education.

The news from ASCO highlights that progress is being made, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
The Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania announced a summary report that showed that the 5-year clinical trial participation diversity effort doubled the participation of black patients from 12% to 24%.
On the other hand, Foundation Medicine announced that data from an oral report to be conducted on Tuesday will show that black men are more likely to bear the burden of prostate cancer than white men, but based on the real situation, they are more likely to receive a comprehensive genetic analysis.

“Men of African descent bear the greatest disease burden in prostate cancer.
This study shows that differences in cancer care are not only based on biological factors, but also on socio-economic factors, such as access to comprehensive genome analysis and clinical trial registration.

Pierce's anti-cancer strategy mainly focuses on the dissemination of basic medical knowledge.
She launched a podcast series to teach oncology trainees how to talk to patients about the "three most important modifiable risk factors" of cancer: smoking, obesity and alcohol.
During her tenure, ASCO conducted a survey that showed that patients' attention to weight management has improved during cancer treatment.
She wanted to learn from a successful colorectal cancer screening program in Delaware, which "almost eliminated the difference" and saved millions of dollars.

In his speech, Pierce said, "History has been paying attention to us," "We are at a critical moment in our social history and the world's social history.
We must take advantage of this momentum and be responsible for ourselves.
" Martin Luther King, Jr.
, 1965 The doctor said that if a person refuses to stand up for the right thing, he will die.
The lives of countless cancer patients around the world depend on us speaking out.
We must bravely commit and take fair care actions,"
