What’s Happening: The ongoing shortages of critical oncology drugs are impacting patients and their oncology care team. ASCO is engaging with congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle and in the House and Senate on proposals to mitigate drug shortages. The lack of predictability in the generic cancer drug supply chain can have severely negative impacts on patients with cancer, including disruptions or delays in treatment, potentially leading to irreversible disease progression. Both Congress and the Administration need to intervene to secure the pharmaceutical pipeline and address drug shortages.

Lawmakers need to hear from you that drug shortages are a high priority that must be addressed this year.
