Patient Advocacy Summit Overview:
Patients with cancer often have widely divergent care experiences from screening through survivorship. Differences in care delivery and outcomes may be due, in part, to varying patient needs and preferences according to age and stage of life; inconsistent implementation of guidelines, recommendations, and policies; and unintended age bias in health care. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network’s® (NCCN®) Virtual Patient Advocacy Summit provided an opportunity for a varied group of stakeholders including patients, caregivers, providers, patient advocacy organizations, policymakers, and industry to thoughtfully discuss the importance of providing quality, effective, efficient, and accessible cancer care across the patient lifespan.
The NCCN Digital Resource Booklet includes information from 25 patient advocacy organizations on their age-specific programs and resources. This Booklet was developed in conjunction with NCCN Virtual Patient Advocacy Summit: Cancer Across the Lifespan held on December 10, 2020.
