PC3I Presents 35 Abstracts at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting
May 30, 2024
This week, oncologists from around the world are gathering to share the latest cutting-edge cancer research at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL. This year’s conference theme is The Art and Science of Cancer Care: From Comfort to Cure and features 17 first- and senior-authored abstracts and 18 co-authored abstracts from Innovation Faculty, Fellows, and staff at the Penn Center for Cancer Care Innovation (PC3I).
PC3I researchers’ work is rooted in delivering equitable and patient-centered care, addressing racial and ethnic barriers in oncology, and applying digital technologies to improve patient care and engagement. This year’s innovations include:
- Leveraging behavioral economics-informed nudges to increase genetic testing in patients with newly diagnosed NSCLC;
- Using AI to determine clinical trial eligibility and availability;
- Implementing tailored treatment to reduce toxicity and improve survival for patients with cancer.
