The US Oncology Network’s Post

July is Sarcoma & Bone Cancer Awareness Month. This rare cancer type accounts for approximately 1% of adult cancers and 15-20% of childhood cancers. Unfortunately, sarcoma is often resistant to existing treatment methods, and there is a need for new therapeutic options. Clinical trials and research play a vital role in improving treatment options and overall survival for these cancers. #ClinicalTrials #SarcomaAwarenessMonth #BoneCancerAwareness #CancerResearch

Thank you to Misty Chicchirichi, Sr. Quality Programs Manager at Shenandoah Oncology, and Evan Osborne, MBA, MPH, BSRT(T) (ARRT), PMP, Value-Based Care Program Manager at The Network, for representing The Network at the 2024 CMS Health Equity Conference!

In research presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting, our team found that while more hospitalizations were observed in older adults enrolled in cancer clinical trials, clinical trial participation is not associated with suboptimal end of life care.

At The Network, we are dedicated to ensuring the sustainability of independent, community-based oncology care. As a leader in community oncology support, we understand the importance of enabling independent practices to thrive and deliver high-quality, patient-centered cancer care.   Our focus remains on advocating for the interests of independent oncology practices and taking a stand against anticompetitive behavior that threatens the healthcare industry. The Network believes that a competitive healthcare market promotes higher quality, lower cost care, and supports innovation. We stand against anticompetitive behavior that undermines physician autonomy, reduces access to care, and limits patient choice. Together, we aim to ensure independent practices thrive and patients receive exceptional community care.   #PublicPolicy #AdvocacyEfforts #IndependentOncologyCare #PatientCentered
