Through this brief self-paced online eCourse, oncology professionals can better address the existing barriers to quality bladder cancer care for underserved populations and improve care coordination for improved health outcomes.

Practical Insights on How to Improve Comprehensive Biomarker Testing in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) has established the ACCC Community Oncology Research Institute (ACORI) to build on its existing mission to close the gap in cancer research through optimal oncology partnerships. As part of this mission, ACCC hosted the ACORI Call to Action Summit, a two-day virtual event that explored practical solutions to strengthen and diversify oncology clinical trials in communities across the country.

A series of interactive modules outline key concepts such as diversity, equity, and health disparities, as well as the role of implicit bias in clinical trial selection. Vignettes provide real-world examples of implicit bias and guidance for mitigating disparities in cancer research settings.

Hear an expert panel review currently available data on cancer care disparities, discuss the needs of disadvantaged populations, and share practical solutions and methods for implementing bias training and bidirectionally engaging your cancer program or practice with local community representatives

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown a wrench into every corner of the American healthcare system, and clinical research is no exception. In light of physical distancing and public safety recommendations, research programs have made significant adjustments, including virtual approaches to site selection and data collection and increased use of telehealth services. What lessons about clinical research can be learned during the pandemic, and what does it mean for the future of cancer research?

The David King Community Clinical Scientist Award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated leadership in the development, participation, and evaluation of clinical studies and/or are active in the development of new screening, risk assessment, treatment, or supportive care programs for cancer patients.

The Clinical Research Award recognizes individuals whose research has significantly and positively impacted the oncology patient, family, and/or community.

The Annual Achievement Award recognizes individuals or an organization who have made outstanding contributions, nationally and/or internationally, to cancer care and to patients with cancer.

Optimal care delivery changes from place to place—what works best for one location and patient population may not be ideal for another. The same applies to cancer research. Understanding the needs of your patient population is critical to trial design and implementation. How can you proactively involve your community in cancer research activities? ​
