The 2022 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO 2022) focused on health equity. Even though it’s not this year’s theme for ASCO, at Janssen, health equity remains our focus year-round. Consistent commitment is how we achieve lasting systemic change. We must work together as a health care system – including pharma, health care practitioners (HCPs), payors, and more – to tackle the inherent biases in our care system, break down barriers to access, and build trust.
