Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SOI Article Series: "Propensity score–weighted analysis of neoadjuvant therapy versus upfront surgical resection in patients with biliary tract cancers"

Q: How standardized is the use of neoadjuvant therapy before surgery in their practice?

They note that there is no standard protocol; treatment is flexible (two to six cycles) and decisions are made within a multidisciplinary clinic to determine the optimal timing for surgery based on interim imaging and tumor markers.

SSO Education Series: Introduction to Value-Based Care in Surgical Oncology

Q: How can different stakeholders—clinicians, payers, systems, and patients—work together to improve value in cancer care?

Value is defined differently by each stakeholder, so success relies on shared data infrastructure, transparency, and tools to measure domains such as survival, toxicity, cost, and patient experience, enabling collaboration.

SSO Education Series: Introduction to Value-Based Care in Surgical Oncology

Q: Are there frameworks that exist to assess value in oncology, and how should we think about their strengths or limitations?

Frameworks like ASCO Net Health Benefit and NCCN evidence blocks help quantify value but can oversimplify by providing single scores; newer approaches emphasize multi-domain measurement and communication to reflect diverse stakeholder priorities.

SSO Education Series: Introduction to Value-Based Care in Surgical Oncology

Q: So Dr. Allen, how do you define value in cancer care, especially from a patient-centered perspective?

Value starts with outcomes that matter to patients and expands to include quality, safety, experience, and cost, recognizing that patient priorities vary and that metrics must capture multiple domains beyond traditional survival.

ASO Article Series: Assessing the Evidence for and Utility of Gene Expression Profiling of Primary Cutaneous Melanoma

Q: Do you see a role for GEP in guiding imaging surveillance or decisions about adjuvant therapy in melanoma?

The current data do not demonstrate that GEP improves surveillance strategies or helps decide on adjuvant therapy in a prospective manner. There is interest in the possibility that GEP could help refine risk within subgroups and potentially predict response to therapies, but evidence is not sufficient yet to alter standard management.
