@PC3Innovation
The Penn Center for Cancer Care Innovation (PC3I) works at the nexus of research and practice to create, test, and scale solutions to transform #cancercare.
A study led by PC3I's @drkimtlee explored oncologists' perceptions of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists as ovarian function suppression for treatment of early-stage #breastcancer. Findings showed a need for guidance in determining menopausal status. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40461861/
Patients with prior authorization requirements are more likely to have their access to #chemotherapy interrupted-a 10 day delay on average. PC3I Faculty @michaelannica spoke with @nytimes on the effects of health insurers denying drug claims for patients. nytimes.com/2025/07/18/hea…
A study led by PC3I Faculty @k8courtright measured Goal-Concordant Care, the highest quality of care, using clinical notes in pts' medical records & found this method of measurement to be feasible & scalable. Findings published in @JAMANetworkOpen jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…
A project led by PC3I Program Director @DrLolaFayanju is combining the Best Case/Worst Case framework w/ the comprehensive geriatric assessment to increase shared decision-making conversations & improve communication & care for older adults w/ #cancer. pc3i.upenn.edu/our-work/proje…
In our Spring Newsletter, we highlighted work that creates & tests ways to streamline #cancercare delivery and save patients valuable time spent commuting to, waiting for, & receiving care. Read our full newsletter: mailchi.mp/2a3a03821bbd/c… Subscribe here: bit.ly/4kaQ18c
Several young celebrities announced #breastcancer diagnoses in the past year - reaffirming the rising rates among women under 50. PC3I's @DrLolaFayanju spoke w/ @NBCNews, recommending young women with symptoms go to centers experienced in breast imaging. nbcnews.com/health/womens-…
#ASCO25 @ASCO has been incredible - breadth and depth of research presented by @PC3Innovation @PennCancer @PennMedicine @PennMDForum Here is a quick recap! tinyurl.com/49yvc65f #LCSM #QoL #AI #FinancialToxicity @Ron_cology @lynn_schuchter @MMarmarelis
Huge congrats to my friend Dr. Gabriel Aleixo (@chefaleixomd) on presenting PACE-70 at #ASCO25 — the first real-world study of the Practical Geriatric Assessment (PGA) in community oncology! 🧓🏽📋🏥 📊 In 3 Penn-affiliated sites, PACE-70 is: — Measuring PGA uptake & barriers —…
Here is our poster with the implementation of the PGA in 3 community hospitals
#PC3IatASCO: Surbhi Grover & @LichterKatie compared the #environmental impact of #radiotherapy in Brazil & external beam #radiation therapy in the U.S.; & explored how sustainable practices can promote equity & expand access. #ASCO25 @ASCO meetings.asco.org/abstracts-pres…
#PC3IatASCO: @chefaleixomd, @ramsedhom, @efratdotan, & @ravi_b_parikh evaluating implementation of the Practical #Geriatric Assessment & resulting #chemotherapy dose modification among older adults with #cancer. #ASCO25 @ASCO meetings.asco.org/abstracts-pres… pc3i.upenn.edu/news/pc3i-pres…
#PC3IatASCO: Lauren Hamel, David Dougherty & team testing the effectiveness of using a education & communication intervention app to mitigate #financialtoxicity in patients with #cancer. #ASCO25 @ASCO meetings.asco.org/abstracts-pres… pc3i.upenn.edu/news/pc3i-pres…
#PC3IatASCO: Susan Domchek w/ PC3I's @kate_rendle & Peter Gabriel implemented #nudges to increase #genetictesting for diverse populations of patients at risk for #breastcancer and #ovariancancer across @PennMedicine sites. #ASCO @ASCO meetings.asco.org/abstracts-pres…
#PC3IatASCO: Emily Ko, @Doctor_Keisha & @GuerraViswanath evaluated implementation of a patient-ambassador program to provide #GynecologicOncology clinical trial awareness & knowledge for patients. #ASCO25 @ASCO meetings.asco.org/abstracts-pres… pc3i.upenn.edu/news/pc3i-pres…
#PC3IatASCO: @MMarmarelis, @CharuAggarwalMD & team used an EMR-based nudge for #NSCLC molecular testing at time of 1st post-operative visit. Findings showed the nudges increased rate of #moleculartesting in patients. #ASCO25 #LungCancer #LCSM @ASCO meetings.asco.org/abstracts-pres…
#PC3IatASCO: PC3I's Allie @BarzLeahy & Haley Newman analyzed patient & caregiver-reported #financialtoxicity (FT) outcomes for #pediatric pts receiving CAR T therapy & found high prevalence of FT at time of infusion. #ASCO25 @ASCO meetings.asco.org/abstracts-pres… pc3i.upenn.edu/news/pc3i-pres…
PC3I Faculty, Fellows, & staff will present 32 abstracts this weekend at the 2025 @ASCO Annual Meeting spanning #financialtoxicity, patient-centered care, digital interventions, & more. Follow along with #PC3IatASCO #ASCO25 pc3i.upenn.edu/news/pc3i-pres…
