ACCC Position Statement: Protecting Cancer Research and Patient Care Access

ACCC strongly opposes recent executive actions limiting NIH funding and other federal support for medical research and the House budget resolution that would reduce Medicaid funding. These changes threaten to undermine cancer research infrastructure, reduce patient access to care, and reverse progress in cancer treatment outcomes nationwide. Read the full statement on the ACCC website.

ACCC Offers a New Continuing Education Opportunity

This continuing education opportunity provides guidance on managing HR+, HER2- metastatic breast cancer and is designed for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, and the entire multidisciplinary cancer care team. The course explores first-, second-, and third-line therapies for disease progression, strategies to manage treatment-related toxicities, and approaches to enhance patients’ quality of life.

Transforming Access to Care Through Pre-Intake Navigation

Transforming Access to Care Through Pre-Intake Navigation

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, developed a novel Pre-Intake Navigation (PIN) program, which identifies and resolves early financial and insurance barriers, enabling patients to access timely, high-quality cancer care with less anxiety and fewer delays. PIN shifts financial navigation from a late-stage, reactive task to an early, standardized, patient‑centered process embedded in the call center workflow.

Advancing Critical Priorities at the State Level: Louisiana, Iowa, and Washington Awarded for Their Efforts at 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting

At the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, the Louisiana Oncology Society received the ASCO Jeffrey C Ward Affiliate Advocacy Award for advancing critical advocacy priorities that have translated into meaningful legislative victories. The Iowa Oncology Society and Washington State Medical Oncology Society were also recognized for their advocacy efforts in 2025 at the meeting, receiving second place awards.

Designing a Safe, Fully Outpatient CAR T-Cell Program in the Community

Designing a Safe, Fully Outpatient CAR T-Cell Program in the Community

Nationally, approximately 1 in 5 patients who qualify for CAR T-cell therapy never receive it due to geographic distance, travel burden, or limited availability at specialized inpatient centers. Recognizing a critical need in its community, Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, launched the region’s first fully outpatient CAR T-cell therapy program for select blood cancers, fundamentally redefining how advanced cellular therapies can be delivered safely outside of a hospital setting and earning the program a 2026 ACCC Innovator Award.
