Association of Cancer Care Centers Oral Presentation and Posters Selected for 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer

ROCKVILLE, MD - The Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC) today announced the topics of its oral presentation and 4 poster abstracts selected for showcase at this year’s 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC), held September 7-10, 2024, in San Diego, CA.

Mary Pasquinelli, APRN, FNP-BC, a nurse practitioner in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Sleep, and Allergy at UI Health, will deliver the oral presentation, Improving Supportive and Social Care in Lung Cancer with the 4R Oncology Model for Patient Care Planning and Delivery, on Sunday, September 8, at 3:30 p.m. Pasquinelli’s presentation will explore how to improve supportive and social care in lung cancer with the 4R Oncology Model for patient care planning and delivery.

ACCC’s poster abstracts span topics including access to biomarker tests, improving care coordination to address healthcare inequities, exploring rural Appalachian community perceptions and practices to inform screening interventions, and a quality improvement initiative to address biomarker testing and quality of care delivery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

“ACCC works to support its members in providing quality, comprehensive care for their patients,” said ACCC President Nadine Barrett, PhD, MA, MPH. “Members want to address inequities to provide the best quality care to all patients. Accordingly, this year’s ACCC presentations to the oncology community at World Lung seek to ensure equity is at the forefront of lung cancer care decisions throughout the entire journey: through screening, diagnosis and treatment.”
