Cancer care is in crisis — but I’ve seen what hope can do
“I became a doctor because I lost someone I loved. I stayed because I believe in what we do together,” writes art director turned oncologist Fumiko Chino.
We have agency.
We can speak up. We can show up.
Advocating for cancer care means speaking to legislators, bringing patient stories to the front lines of policymakers, supporting & amplifying each other to continue to do the work that changes outcomes.

About 1 in 12 Cancer Survivors Use Cannabis, Data Suggest - Oncology Nurse Advisor
“Amid the growing popularity of cannabis, it is perhaps not surprising that clinicians are increasingly accepting its use among cancer survivors,” the researchers wrote.
In a study of more than 6 million #cancersurvivors, about 1 in 12 reported using #cannabis, and nearly half of them said they used cannabis for medical reasons. Published in @ascocancer.bsky.social JCO Oncology Practice and @cancertherapyadv.bsky.social.

New📄in @thelancet.com oncology: The US does not have a comprehensive national health insurance plan. Instead coverage is derived from a patchwork of various federal, state, & local policies. This system stymies access to care for ~11M #undocumentedImmigrants currently contributing to the US economy.

![Screening for Financial Toxicity and Health-Related Social Risks in Patients With Gl Cancer: Results From a Large
Cancer Center
PURPOSE Patients with GI cancers often face significant financial toxicity (FT) and
health-related social risks (HRSRs), yet best practices for screening remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of FT and HRSR and identify associated factors.
METHODS From June 2022 to August 2023, patients were screened using the Compre-hensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST), patient-reported HRSR (eg, housing, food insecurity), and quality of life (QOL). Multivariate regressions were used to assess predictors of FT and HRSR, adjusting for several variables.
RESULTS Among 8,335 patients with GI cancer, 45% had a COST score of <26, indicating FT. In adjusted linear regression, FT was associated with racial/ethnic minority status (B, 4.20; P < .001), advanced disease (stage III (B, 1.33; P < .001); IV [B,
1.56; P < .001)), recent treatment (B, 3.23; P < .001), and anal (B, 1.97; P = .003),
esophageal (B, 1.66; P = .005), or hepatobiliary cancer (B, 1.05; P = .031). Older
age (≥65 years [B, -5.17; P < .001)), higher income ($100,000-$200,000 (B, -181; P < .001); >$200,000 [B, -3.80; P < .001)), and private insurance (B, -1.70; P < .001) were protective. Twenty-eight percent reported at least one HRSR. HRSRs were associated with minority status (odds ratio [OR], 2.14;
P < .001), advanced disease (stage III [OR, 1.31; P = .001); IV[OR, 1.24; P = .010)),
recent treatment (OR, 1.20; P = .001), and gastric cancer (OR, 1.25; P = .027).
Lower HRSR was associated with older age (OR, 0.59; P < .001), higher income ($100,000-$200,000 (OR, 0.66; P < .001); >$200,000 (OR, 0.48; P < .001)), and private insurance (OR, 0.64; P < .001). Sex was not a predictor. Worst FT was associated with decreased QOL (B, -0.98; P < .001) and reduced medication adherence (B, 0.11; P < .001).
