Episode 294: AYAs With Cancer: Clinical Trial Enrollment Barriers and Facilitators
“AYAs are underrepresented in clinical trials and unfortunately have one of the highest rates of being uninsured of any population. So, this is really concerning for a lot of reasons and really impacts our ability to make a difference for their treatment and outcomes,” Stacy Whiteside, APRN, MS, CPNP-AC/PC, CPON®, nurse practitioner and fertility patient navigator in the Department of Hematology, Oncology, and Blood and Marrow Transplant at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, OH, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a discussion about increasing AYA enrollment in clinical trials. Whiteside is also the nursing representative for the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) AYA Committee.
