Biomarker or molecular testing to help oncologists match patients with the best cancer treatment can be challenging in the community oncology setting and for patients in underserved communities. At present, patients with cancer in racially or ethnically underserved communities are not getting biomarker testing at the same rate as White patients in communities with greater access to care. Barriers to testing include insurance restrictions, conflicting guidelines, and the reliance of community oncologists on single-gene testing instead of multi-gene panels used more often by academic oncologists. In the multidisciplinary setting of community oncology, healthcare professionals (HCPs) would benefit from education on best practice models that provide cost-effective molecular testing services for the undertested underserved population, especially given that more recently U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatments require biomarker testing. In this CME Outfitters recorded symposium expert faculty will evaluate the latest biomarker testing strategies in prostrate, bladder, and lung cancer, discussing how to integrate all members of the interdisciplinary care team in community oncology settings, identifying root causes of health inequity in cancer care and how to incorporate strategies to address unconscious bias and provide the latest biomarker testing services in cancer care management.
