Description
A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine planning committee will organize and conduct a virtual workshop series to explore the impact of extreme weather events on clinical cancer research and care. The virtual workshop series will feature invited presentations and discussions on topics that may include the following:
The direct and indirect effects of extreme weather events on cancer-related health outcomes.
The impacts of extreme weather events on healthcare systems, and the treatment and care management for people diagnosed with cancer, including clinical trials.
Potential strategies at the state, federal, and healthcare system levels to preempt and address impacts of extreme weather events across the cancer continuum.
Ways in which health care systems and communities can build resilience to prevent and mitigate the effects of extreme weather events on the care of patients with cancer.
Research needs to further understand, prepare for, and address impacts of extreme weather events across the cancer continuum.
The planning committee will develop the agenda for the virtual workshop sessions, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. A proceedings-in-brief of the presentations and discussions at the virtual workshop series will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
