Mini-Panel: Nothing About Us Without Us: Patient Advocacy in Research & Policy
Saturday June 6, 2026 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT
TBA
Decisions about research and policy shouldn’t happen without the people most affected.

Join this conversation about how people impacted by cancer can play an active role in advocating for better care in research and policy. We’ll unpack how patients are influencing clinical trials, shaping policy, and pushing for more equitable, inclusive systems. 

You’ll hear real examples, learn where your voice can make a difference, and explore ways to get involved—on your own terms.
Because your experience isn’t just valid—it’s vital.
