Session Abstract – PMWC 2020 Silicon Valley
The vast majority of patients with cancer in the U.S. are treated at community hospitals and practices. It is therefore paramount that precision medicine oncology technologies that are rapidly becoming the standard of care for patients with advanced cancer be available to these facilities. Not only is there a delivery issue, there is a need to encourage the widespread uptake of precision genomics by community oncology practices. This will not only facilitate potentially better patient care but also aid in recruiting patients to clinical trials. However, considerable challenges exist in implementing a precision medicine programs, including administrative, logistic, and financial barriers. This session will feature community hospital representatives that will discuss their institution's experience and challenges with implementing precision medicine programs.
