Patients and their treating oncologists are faced with many challenges today, including rising drug prices and the opioid crisis, as well as clinical pathway optimization and algorithms to furthering community oncology engagement in clinical research. To discuss it all, I sit down with Clifford Hudis, MD, FACP, FASCO, chief executive officer of ASCO, at the recent ASCO annual meeting (2019 meeting in Chicago). In this one-on-one interview, Dr Hudis shares his views and describes how ASCO is working to optimize care delivery for patients amid these challenges in oncology care.
What an honor for me to interview the CEO of the largest oncology society in the world (ASCO); must listen.
