Advances in precision #oncology are creating new opportunities for people living with rare #cancer, but access to biomarker testing remains uneven in many states.
Yesterday's #NORDSummit panel on Closing the Gap in Precision Oncology with @ACSCAN, @ChildrensNatl, and NJ Senator Troy Singleton (@Troy4NJ7) explored the policy solutions and patient advocacy needed to expand equitable access to testing.
#HealthEquity #biomarkers
In our #NORDSummit panel, Closing the Access Gap in Precision Oncology, our panelists highlighted the power that #biomarker testing has for #cancer patients and how too many people lack access to it. The science is already here, the problem is affordability and access.
NJ State Senator @Troy4NJ7 explained how #NewJersey passed a law requiring #HealthInsurance coverage for biomarker testing. This must be a #HealthEquity model for other states to follow, and about half of states so far have.
Thank you to our panelists from @ChildrensNatl, @ACSCAN and moderator Jim Palma of @TargetCancer
