It's a beautiful day in D.C to attend the @WHOSTP #CancerMoonshot Goals Forum w/ friends from across the oncology community, inc. Gary A. Puckrein, PhD, President & CEO, @NMQF (left w/ @cgdaccc). Achieving the Moonshot goals laid out by @POTUS will take collaborative efforts!

The requirement for step therapy is troubling. Unlike meds for other common conditions like hypertension, there are not usually multiple equivalent choices for cancer therapy. See @ASCO statement: https://t.co/tnPg6Cs9N1 #BidenCancerSummit

ACCC Executive Director @cgdaccc is participating in a panel at the #NCCNPolicy Summit on policy solutions in value-based care. @NCCNPolicy @NCCNnews

[Ted Okon @TedOkonCOA]

Headline says it all. As I’m quoted in the article, this is complete craziness. Just gave a talk in NOLA to oncologists & everyone in disbelief ⁦@CMSGov⁩ ⁦@SeemaCMS⁩ really proposing to pay the same for sniffles & metastatic breast #cancer. https://t.co/PaHgTRCjd5

[Community Oncology @oncologyCOA]

#340B legislation that calls for transparency is a good thing. Panel urges those who use the program appropriately to stand up and share best practices. It's better to use the program correctly than have it go away completely. #COA2018

[Christian Downs @cgdaccc]

Thanks for having us! @TedOkonCOA @oncologyCOA Great #COA2018 https://t.co/uQXUudsNVU

We are saddened by the loss of Jimmie C. Holland, MD. As the founder of psycho-oncology, she was among the first to study the psychological impact of cancer on patients and their families. We offer heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. @sloan_kettering #AACRFellows

[Tracey Weisberg MD @drtraceynecs]

Thank you all for your kind words of support wrt ASCO election. Excited to serve in this manner.

[ASCO @ASCO]

We’re giving Congress an end-of-year to-do list. Tell your lawmakers to address three cancer policy priorities before recess https://t.co/t1ENWbJIDv #MakeMACRAWork #RaisetheCaps

[Elizabeth A. Mittendorf, MD, PhD, MHCM, FASCO @ASCOPres]

Sequestration cuts will threaten patient access to cancer care & cause increased instability in an already fragile care delivery system https://t.co/0HgQG5yyqP
