Cancer Care in 2024: Considerations for the Care Team
Join us as we explore Cancer Care in 2024: Considerations for the Care Team and return to the clinic with a renewed perspective and practical tips that impact patient care. Together, we’ll consider the many facets of caring for patients with cancer, beginning with an honest presentation of the patient perspective – previvor, metavivor, and survivor. We’ll delve into unique care models, break down the application of genetic testing in precision medicine, and discuss strategies to ensure equitable access to care for LGBTQ+ patients. We’ll end the day by taking a deeper dive into the complexities of ethics in cancer care and the inherent challenges in striving to do what is truly beneficial for the patient.
