Collaboration among physicians, administrators, and care providers at the local, regional, and national level strengthens efforts to ensure that high-quality care is available to all patients with cancer. The 2025 ACS Cancer Conference will bring additional focus to collaboration efforts by addressing the linkages among national organizations and between physicians, advance practice providers, and allied health professionals at the local facilities. Sessions will also address current advances to cancer care, enhancements to data collection and analysis, research results, and national quality improvement efforts.
The workshops offered in conjunction with the conference will introduce revised accreditation standards outlined in Optimal Resources for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC standards), report on implementation activities and clarify requirements for Optimal Resources for Breast Centers (NAPBC standards) implemented in 2024, and focus on cultivating quality improvement knowledge and skills.
At the end of the workshop, attendees will be able to:
