CLINICAL PRACTICE & TREATMENT

Precision medicine delivers personalized cancer care based on an individual’s genomics, lifestyle, and environment. Precision medicine implements the use of biomarkers, molecular testing, and targeted therapies to tailor treatment plans that address the unique needs of every patient.

Helping to bring personalized cancer care into focus, ACCC transforms complex science into clear and actionable education that brings clarity to patient care decisions. From essential knowledge on cancer screening updates to clinically impactful biomarker testing and new cancer diagnostic assay development, the ACCC Precision Medicine Library has fundamental resources that match the professional needs and preferred learning styles of the multidisciplinary cancer team.

Treatment

ACCC provides members with the latest information, resources, and programs so they can better assist their patients with critical care decisions. This includes programs on managing adverse events, usage of biosimilars in treatment, bispecific antibodies, and immunotherapy.

Biomarker Testing in Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Biomarker Testing in Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

While recent advances in precision medicine have substantially changed the management of lung cancer, care must be taken to ensure that these advances do not worsen health disparities. This study included a case component that divided overall respondents into two cohorts to observe how patient characteristics, such as age, socio-economic status, race/ethnicity, and health literacy, affected the likelihood of ordering biomarker testing.

Precision Medicine Stewards: A Case Study from Sanford Health

ACCC shares how Sanford Health introduced its own “precision medicine steward” through the development of a pilot Oncology Nurse Navigator, Genomics (ONNG) role, which has improved coordination of its biomarker testing program.

As precision medicine becomes more common in the management of lung cancer, little is understood about the patient experience with biomarker testing, particularly of underserved patients. This study used survey and focus group methodology to determine patient perspectives on the educational needs within this community.
