Location: Online (Space is limited)
|
|
Moderated by ASCO President Lori J. Pierce, MD, FASTRO, FASCO, the virtual roundtable will bring together leaders in the oncology community for an open discussion on challenges to achieving equity in precision cancer care, along with the actions needed at the provider, institution, and government levels to ensure equitable access to precision medicine advances for all individuals with cancer. |
Intersectionality: Examining Concepts of Privilege |
Date: Thursday, May 27
Time: 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Location: Online
|
In this 2-hour workshop, participants will complete pre-work through self-directed learning. Definitions of terms such as institutional power, 4 levels of oppression, privilege, and others will be provided. Participants will be expected to draw on lessons learned, tools used in Part 1 and Part 2, and new activities introduced into this training to examine the complexities of their own identities. The selected activities for this training are not designed to make participants feel guilty or ashamed around having or not having privilege, but rather to explore how we ALL have SOME privilege and to learn how to engage our privilege to determine if we want to be an actor, ally and/or accomplice when navigating spaces.

This opportunity supports This includes (but is not limited to) development and testing of the following:
- new molecular agents or biologics for cancer treatment;
- management strategies for cancer-related symptoms or treatment-related toxicity;
- cancer screening or diagnostic tools, such as imaging techniques;
- cancer preventive agents or approaches;
- predictive and prognostic biomarkers for patient selection or stratification;
- clinically relevant in vivo or in vitro tumor models (including genetically engineered mouse models, patient-derived xenograft models, organoids, and cell lines); and,
- strategies to address therapeutic outcome disparities among diverse racial/ethnic populations.
In addition to novel agents, new treatment strategies may involve repurposed agents or novel combinations of interventions (including radiation), based on established mechanisms of action. Comparative oncology studies in dogs investigating strategies for treatment and diagnosis of human disease are supported as well.
