What You Can Do
  1. Endorse the rapid communications regarding treatment options to preserve drug supply and alternative chemotherapy drug guidelines if standard-of-care drugs are not available.
  2. Join us for upcoming webinars and round tables aimed at providing education and support to the cancer community, and share information with your extended networks.
  3. Work together to meet with and inform legislators. We need legislation for incentives for manufacturers and enhanced supply chain resilience, and to empower the FDA with more options to address drugs shortages. We also must explore the economic relationships between manufacturers and buyers.
