  • Resumen

  • In the latest ASCO in Action Podcast, ASCO CEO Dr. Clifford A. Hudis provides an update on a new initiative, the ASCO Survey on COVID-19 in Oncology Registry (ASCO Registry), which aims to help the cancer community learn more about the pattern of symptoms and severity of COVID-19 among patients with cancer, as well as how the virus is impacting the delivery of cancer care and patient outcomes. “We have an urgent need to learn more about how COVID-19 is directly and indirectly affecting the people with cancer who we serve. In times of crisis, it’s especially important that we learn from every patient so that we can refine our approaches and continue to provide the highest quality care,” said Dr. Hudis.

Dr. Clifford Hudis: Welcome to the ASCO in Action Podcast, brought to you by the ASCO Podcast Network, a collection of 9 programs covering a range of educational and scientific content and offering enriching insight into the world of cancer care. You can find all of the shows, including this one, at podcast.asco.org (“Podcast dot ASCO dot org”) The ASCO in Action Podcast is ASCO’s podcast series that explores the policy and practice issues that impact oncologists, the entire cancer care delivery team, and the individuals we care for—people with cancer. I’m Dr. Clifford Hudis, CEO of ASCO and the host of the ASCO in Action podcast series. For this podcast, I wanted to provide a quick update about one of ASCO’s newest initiatives, the ASCO Survey on COVID-19 in Oncology Registry, which we’ve launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s clear that the COVID-19 pandemic poses a threat to people all across the globe. Since the worldwide outbreak of the coronavirus, we’ve learned that certain populations – including individuals with cancer – are more likely to be vulnerable to the worst outcomes from COVID-19. However, there’s still so much that we do not understand. We have an urgent need to learn more about how COVID-19 is directly and indirectly affecting the people with cancer who we serve. In response, ASCO recently announced the new ASCO Survey on COVID-19 in Oncology Registry or ASCO Registry for short. This exciting new initiative was developed under the leadership and vision of ASCO’s Chief Medical Office Dr. Richard Schilsky, with support from a dedicated team of professional staff who work for our Center for Research & Analytics (CENTRA). The ASCO Registry was established so that we can learn more about the pattern of symptoms and severity of COVID-19 among patients with cancer, as well as how the virus is impacting the delivery of cancer care and patient outcomes. We’re not just looking at point-in-time data on patients with cancer. The ASCO Registry will capture longitudinal data on how the virus impacts patient care and outcomes throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and into 2021. We hope that longer-term look will tell us if the virus resulted in specific complications for patients, delayed patients’ ability to get a specific type of treatment, or if certain approaches resulted in better outcomes for patients. Once we have sufficient data in the Registry, we plan to release periodic reports to the cancer community and the broader public on key learnings. These reports might include details like the characteristics of patients with cancer most impacted by COVID-19, estimates of the severity of disease among patients with cancer, changes or delays to treatments, and the implementation of telehealth in a cancer care setting. We also hope to be able to report on the clinical outcomes among patients with cancer during the pandemic. And, we might even learn that certain unconventional approaches might allow us to deliver care more efficiently or safely without jeopardizing patient outcomes. The ASCO Registry is open to all U.S. oncology practices. That includes physician-owned, academic, hospital or health system-owned practices, and hospitals themselves. Participating practices will be asked to complete a baseline data capture form on each patient with cancer who has a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. Later, practices will be asked to provide follow-up information on each patient’s status, treatment, and outcomes. Data will also be collected on practice-level changes, such as new screening procedures, implementation of telehealth in the practice, and changes to clinical trial enrollment procedures. The ASCO Registry will securely collect limited patient identifying data – ...
