Lisa Hatfield:
Dr. Manley, how can partnerships between researchers, healthcare providers, community organizations, and policymakers be leveraged to address biomarker disparities and improve health outcomes for marginalized groups?
Dr. Eugene Manley:
I think partnerships are key to really moving the needle across the whole spectrum. You need the patient advocate groups, which are patients, caregivers, survivors. You need the researchers that are doing the studies. You need the physicians, researchers, surgeons that are doing the treatment surgeries follow-up. You need the histologists that are doing imaging and staining. And so, and then you need to really have an activated ecosystem that can really use stories and storytelling to translate this information to those that are writing policy. Because policy usually only gets changed through strong stories.
So you have to tell the story of your lung cancer, your diagnosis, your journey, and how…what did and didn’t work. And then the compelling story is usually what get laws passed. Often the use of webinar series where you have patients speaking about their experience are way more impactful because then they’re really bringing their life story to that journey. And that’s really key. So I think the partnerships at all levels are important, but you all need to be on the same page with what you’re trying to do and who you’re trying to impact.
