ASCO Panel Creates Guidelines for Drug Shortage | ASH Clinical News | American Society of Hematology
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) put together a multidisciplinary panel to provide clinical guidance amid the chemotherapy shortage. The panel is comprised of oncologists, ethicists, and patient advocates and is designed to help providers navigate instances in which rationing therapies or considering alternative therapies is necessary. The 44-person group devised a set of general guiding principles providers can refer to during drug shortages, including subsets for specific disease types.
