Statement of Need

In this CME Outfitters live symposium, expert faculty will address biomarker testing in community oncology settings and its impact on treatment selection and patient outcomes, particularly in underserved patient populations. Education is needed on available biomarker testing strategies in prostate, bladder, and lung cancer to improve management of patients. Factors that contribute to health inequities include clinician unconscious biases, systemic barriers, patient social drivers of health, and lack of best practice models for access to equitable cancer care. Education will address these barriers and provide best practices to improve biomarker testing strategies and access to appropriate therapeutic decision-making.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to better:

  • Evaluate the latest biomarker testing strategies in prostate, bladder, and lung cancer, including their impact on treatment decision-making
  • Integrate equitable biomarker testing strategies in community oncology settings
  • Identify the root causes of health inequity in cancer care
  • Incorporate action-oriented strategies to address unconscious bias and patient SDoH in cancer care management
