Policy Issues & Statements

ASCO works to shape a wide range of policy issues that impact the cancer care delivery system and people with cancer. ASCO’s ultimate goal is to ensure that all patients have access to high-quality, affordable cancer care and that oncology practices have the resources needed to provide that care. Key areas of focus include cancer prevention, access to and quality of cancer care, adequate reimbursement and coverage, and access and support for evidence-based research.

"Precision medicine has begun to transform the lives of many patients with cancer, but its application in clinical practice is enormously complex. ASCO hopes to contribute to and advance the field by providing oncologists with the training, tools, and data they need."
