[missyrand]

On 11/9-11/10, join the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine for a free virtual workshop on adverse effects that patients may experience as a result of cancer treatment and opportunities to improve quality of life across the lifespan.

On November 9-10, 2020, the National Cancer Policy Forum, in collaboration with the Forum on Aging, Disability, and Independence, will hold a virtual workshop to examine the significant physical, mental, and socioeconomic consequences that patients may experience as a result of cancer treatment.

This virtual workshop will include presentations and panel discussions on:

An overview of the array of adverse consequences of cancer treatment across the lifecourse

Opportunities to improve informed and goal-concordant care, especially in light of evidence gaps on the long-term consequences of cancer treatment

Opportunities to redesign cancer treatment to prevent, screen for, and reduce toxicities

Improving the evidence base for addressing the adverse consequences of cancer treatment

System-level redesign and policy change to improve survivorship care

Participant recommendations for the path forward

Unfortunately I'm slammed with a work project with a presentation coming up that I'm responsible for, so I can't sit in on this one. I have attended other National Academy programs and they have always been of high quality. My experience is also that presentations build on each other over the course of the 1.5 days. I'd be interested in what you learn.
