Association of Cancer Care Centers

Association of Cancer Care Centers Founded in 1974, ACCC is a powerful network of more than 45,000 multidisciplinary professionals from over 1,700 provider organizations nationwide.

The Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) promotes the entire continuum of quality cancer care for our patients and our communities. Since 1974, ACCC has been helping oncology professionals adapt to the complex changes of delivering quality cancer care. ACCC members rely on the Association to bring them information on cancer program management, reimbursement issues, legislative and regula

tory changes at the state and national levels, community cancer program standards, NCI-funded community clinical research, hospital alliances and physician relationships, and more. More than 28,000 cancer care professionals from more than 2,000 hospitals and practices nationwide are affiliated with ACCC. It is estimated that 65 percent of the nation's cancer patients are treated by a member of ACCC.

Dermatologic toxicities from EGFR inhibitor therapy can significantly affect a patient's quality of life and treatment adherence—yet approaches to prevention and management still vary widely across cancer programs.

To help close that gap, ACCC brought together patient advocates and providers across the multidisciplinary care team for a new video series: Supportive Care Strategies for Dermatologic Toxicities Related to EGFR Inhibitor Therapies.

The series covers:
- The current landscape of EGFR inhibitor therapies
- Proactive strategies for managing skin toxicities
- Workflows for coordinated, interdisciplinary care
- Treatment decision-making factors driven by patient quality of life.

🎧 "Low risk" doesn't mean low stakes. In this episode, Amy DeZern, MD, MHS (Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Jefferson) and Christin Blair DeStefano, MD, FACP (Walter Reed National Military Medical Center) unpack why that label can quietly mislead patients — and what it takes to keep care on track once treatment begins.

They dig into the molecular complexity behind modern MDS classification, why quality-of-life check-ins every 2-3 months matter more than clinicians often realize, and how easy it is to put a "stable" patient on autopilot.

Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are an emerging and fast-developing area of immunotherapy, particularly in the treatment of hematologic malignancies. However, access to this therapy remains limited, particularly for Veterans. Administrative hurdles and challenging adverse events have slowed adoption of in the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

In this episode, speaks with Nicholas Burwick, MD, President of the Association of VA Hematology/Oncology (AVAHO); Associate Professor, Division of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Washington Department of Medicine; and a Hematologist at VA Puget Sound Health Care System. Buriwck shares how his VA site tackled these challenges and made BsAbs available to its patient population through a collaborative hub-and-spoke model.
