Summary
On behalf of the Chairs of the Women and Diversity Committee and the Community Neuro Oncology Committee of the Society for Neuro-Oncology, this webinar will focus on solutions to the barriers and disparities in access to specialized care for survivors of brain cancer. The webinar will consist of three presentations: one from a healthcare professional and caregiver with a focus on patient advocacy, one from a clinical researcher with a focus on cancer survivorship and healthcare delivery, and one from a clinical cardiologist with a focus on cardiovascular consequences of cancer care.

Objectives
  1. To discuss the patient and caregiver experience regarding barriers and disparities in longitudinal access to specialized care for survivors of brain cancer.
  2. To review models of care, and barriers and disparities to equitable access to care, in cancer survivorship.
  3. To review experience and data regarding barriers to access to specialized oncocardiology care in cancer survivorship.
