Navigating the growing complexity of bladder cancer care is essential to improving patient access and treatment closer to home. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Suzanne Merrill, MD, urologic oncologist at Colorado Urology about barriers and solutions to delivering high-quality bladder cancer care in community settings. CANCER BUZZ also speaks with Patrick Hensley, MD, urologist at University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center, about implementing the Delivering High-Quality Bladder Cancer Care infographic in the community setting. Created by ACCC and BCAN, the infographic describes the 10 elements of excellent bladder cancer care. Cancer programs that align their practices with these guidelines can join a public registry so that patients and caregivers can identify quality bladder cancer care close to where they live. “The best strategies and tools to deliver high quality bladder cancer care out in the community lie first and foremost with having a bladder cancer clinician. It could be a urologist, it could be a urologic oncologist, could even be a medical oncologist or a radiation oncologist...their discipline doesn't matter as much as [having] the core clinical expert that is excited and dedicated to developing and instituting a comprehensive bladder cancer program.” - Suzanne Merrill, MD, FACS “Everybody assumes comprehensive care is being delivered at academic university settings, which it is, but there's so much...bladder cancer care being performed out in the community. So [the question is] how can we achieve comprehensive programs out in the community?” - Suzanne Merril, MD, FACS “I think it's really important that subspecialists and community providers work together to streamline those referrals and anticipate when the patients are coming in and what their needs are going to be, from a procedural standpoint, imaging standpoint, etc, so that you can avoid some of those undue delays in diagnosis and treatment.” - Patrick Hensley, MD Suzanne Merrill, MD, FACS Urologic Oncologist Colorado Urology Aurora, CO Patrick Hensley, MD Urologist Markey Cancer Center – Urology University of Kentucky Lexington, KY   Resources: Infographic: Delivering High Quality Cancer Care in the Community Addressing Disparities in Bladder Cancer Care Understanding and Mitigating Disparities in Bladder Cancer Care Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN)   Funder Statement This program is supported by Astellas Pfizer Alliance, EMD Serano, and Gilead.

On October 29-30, 2024, the ACCC Community Oncology Research Institute (ACORI) hosted the Community Oncology Inclusive Clinical Trial Design Summit in Arlington, VA. The event brought together stakeholders including academic and community cancer center practitioners and researchers, advocacy organizations, government agencies, and industry partners to discuss strategies to increase patient access to clinical trials in the community setting. Five priority areas were identified that characterize actionable strategies to promote fair and accessible clinical trial design that is representative of all patients with cancer: strengthening the clinical trial workforce, optimizing trial design, engaging communities outside of clinical trial interactions, decentralizing clinical trials, and leveraging artificial intelligence/digital health tools for increased access and efficiency.   ACCC is committed to providing support in these priority areas to increase representative participation and opportunities in clinical trials for oncology patients across the US. In this episode of CANCER BUZZ, Kimberly Demirhan, MBA, BSN, RN, assistant director of education programs at ACCC, discusses the 5 priority areas identified at the ACORI Summit and ways to transform how we think about access to trials, especially leveraging AI and digital tools to do so.   “We looked at optimizing trial design to reflect real world patient populations ... assessing eligibility criteria to make it more reflective of the patient populations that we see out in the community.”   “[We suggest] simplifying protocols so we're not accidentally eliminating patients [due to] benign factors, and then really engaging our community providers early on in the design process.”   “It's a really important time to be addressing [AI] and looking at the opportunities we have to transform the way we think about clinical trials, how we think about the delivery and access to them.” – Kimberly Demirhan   Kimberly Demirhan, MBA, BSN, RN Assistant Director, Education Programs Association of Cancer Care Centers   Resources: 2024 ACORI Summit Just ASK: Increasing Diversity in Cancer Clinical Research Bringing Cancer Research to the Community: Strategic Approaches to Representative Oncology Clinical Trial Design

There is an increasing awareness of the importance of screening for social drivers of health (SDOH) for patients with cancer. Social drivers like income level and stable housing can impact a patient's access to quality cancer care. To help multidisciplinary teams in oncology care screen for SDOH, ACCC has developed a screening tool to help identify potential SDOH factors that may hinder access to cancer treatment and clinical trial participation. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Richard Martin III, MD, MPH, medical director of Health Equity and Community Engagement at Tennessee Oncology and Dana McDaniel, DNP, FNP-C, AOCNP, director of Oncology and Clinical Research at Mosaic Life Care about their experiences using the screening tool as part of ACCC's pilot program. “Everybody's role with SDOH is different, but really, everyone has a role with SDOH assessment—taking the time to sit down with the patient, ask the questions, listen to them, and then connect them to the appropriate services so that we can tailor their care and ultimately improve quality.” - Dana McDaniel, DNP, FNP-C, AOCNP   “Being able to capture data around patients' interest [in clinical trials], their awareness and their barriers, and being able to cross reference those 3 things to better focus strategies around [trial] enrollment…that's just going to be gold as far as information to help you know where to go…and when that patient's ready, to help get them onto a trial.” – Richard Martin III, MD, MPH   Richard Martin III, MD, MPH Medical Director, Health Equity and Community Engagement Tennessee Oncology Nashville, Tennessee   Dana McDaniel, DNP, FNP-C, AOCNP Director of Oncology and Clinical Research Mosaic Life Care St. Joseph, Missouri   Additional Resources:   ACCC SDOH Screening Tool (English) (https://bit.ly/4ikNPdb) ACCC SDOH Screening Tool (Spanish) (https://bit.ly/4ixsixA) ACCC SDOH Resource Library (https://bit.ly/4bJtDz6) Improving Equitable Access to Care: Unpacking Medicare's New Documentation, Coding, and Billing Requirements (https://bit.ly/4bKlMRU)

Bladder cancer remains a prevalent disease with significant disparities in care, particularly in underserved populations. To address this, ACCC launched a national quality improvement initiative in three phases: 1. assessment and preparation, 2. action plan implementation, and 3. monitoring for continuous improvement. Dr. Samuel Washington, from the University of California, San Francisco, discussed the initiative's early findings, highlighting site-specific approaches.   Sustainability was a key consideration, ensuring a balance between short-term wins and long-term impact. Action plans need to be both ambitious and practical to drive meaningful change. Continuing outcome monitoring will refine strategies, and the initiative could serve as a replication model in other clinical settings and cancer types. An important opportunity exists to expand multidisciplinary collaboration to include patient advocates and ensure the long-term integration of these improvements. Despite varied site objectives, all participants were committed to improving cancer care. This initiative highlights the power of structured, collaborative efforts to address disparities and enhance patient outcomes.   "Now we have an opportunity to bring in patients and advocates… and expand this type of work in a structured way to other cancers and other institutions, other sites in an already national program." – Dr. Samuel Washington   “The feasibility of the program overall was important, the fact that we could engage leadership champions at the clinic level and then multi-disciplinary team buy-in at each institution with this goal across oncology, urology, practices, radiation oncology, nursing, to all come together for each of these visits to help develop an action plan, it is something that I have not seen much of in recent years." – Dr. Samuel Washington   Samuel L.

Members of the Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC) are preparing for a day of cancer care advocacy on Capitol Hill during its 51st Annual Meeting and Cancer Center Business Summit (AMCCBS) in Washington, DC between March 5-7, 2025. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Nicole Tapay, JD, director of Cancer Care Delivery & Health Policy at ACCC about key policy issues that members will address during ACCC's Capitol Hill Day, including drug shortages, Medicare reimbursement for patient navigation, and concerns over the Inflation Reduction Act's impact on provider reimbursement for infused medications. “[Capitol] Hill Day is a chance for cancer care providers to directly engage in the policymaking process—it's not part of their normal day jobs, but they find it incredibly rewarding." –  Nicole Tapay, JD   "When cancer care providers visit the Hill in person, it's a very valuable part of the process; they share firsthand experiences that truly illustrate the impact of policy decisions." –  Nicole Tapay, JD   Nicole Tapay, JD Director, Cancer Care Delivery & Health Policy Association of Cancer Care Centers   Additional Resources ACCC Capitol Hill Day (https://www.accc-cancer.org/home/attend/capitol-hill-day) 2024 Policy Wrap-Up – Oncology Issues, Vol.40, No 1, 2025 (https://journals.accc-cancer.org/view/2024-policy-wrap-up?_gl=1*ael8au*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3Mzg2OTM3MDUuQ2owS0NRaUFrb2U5QmhEWUFSSXNBSDg1Y0RPekNiaW1WYkJ0TGw1dEtwV0s3ZzFtbWZ3b0tFMkxENTUwMVRkZGZUQzByOUFCS1FUeVpVSWFBa3dvRUFMd193Y0I.*_ga*MTIxNzU0NTA2MC4xNjkxNzY0Mjg0*_ga_HW05FVSTWC*MTc0MDA2NjkzMS41Ni4xLjE3NDAwNjc2NzEuNTIuMC4w) Register for the 51st Annual Meeting and Cancer Care Business Summit (https://events.accc-cancer.org/event/90b42ca3-a5fd-4f87-a1eb-fe4e00d2e9de/overview?RefId=LIP&utm_campaign=2025AM&utm_campaign=CMI%20%7C%20CMA-22-ACCC010%20%7C%20AMCCBS%2025%20%7C%20EV&utm_medium=paid&utm_medium=ppc&utm_source=google&utm_source=adwords&utm_term=accc%20annual%20meeting&hsa_acc=3682411462&hsa_cam=22029487582&hsa_grp=175156250827&hsa_ad=725387102374&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=kwd-2265122107589&hsa_kw=accc%20annual%20meeting&hsa_mt=p&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAn9a9BhBtEiwAbKg6fhOf1fzDdOci-BU8AdIjtS9Y9domwiVkSlasNVK7jVaYE2yv799cHRoC_k4QAvD_BwE) View Agenda for the 51st Annual Meeting and Cancer Care Business Summit (https://agenda.mjhlifesciences.com/agenda/accc/e02ac0e0-7646-4ff5-b872-e3e2ee8b7e22?_gl=1*1k3a1eu*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NDAwMDE0ODcuQ2p3S0NBaUFuOWE5QmhCdEVpd0FiS2c2ZmhPZjFmekRkT2NpLUJVOEFkSWp0UzlZOWRvbXdpVmtTbGFzTlZLN2pWYVlFMnl2Nzk5Y0hSb0NfazRRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_ga*MTU3NjkxMTU5Mi4xNzM2MTc4MTQy*_ga_HW05FVSTWC*MTc0MDAwMDc4NS43Mi4xLjE3NDAwMDE0ODguNDQuMC4w)
