At 1104Health, we’re here to help you and your loved ones explore new treatment options through clinical trials. Whether you’re managing a cancer diagnosis or caring for someone who is, we know that finding the right care can be overwhelming. That’s why we make it easy to find clinical trials that may offer new hope and treatment possibilities, and we help you get the information you need to make that decision with your doctor.
We work with top doctors and researchers to match you with clinical trials that fit your specific cancer type and stage. This gives you the opportunity to try new treatments that could be more effective than current options.
Only 7% of U.S. cancer patients participate in clinical trials, despite up to 50% being eligible. The problem isn’t availability—it’s access. This 30 minute webinar is a Q/A style discussion to dissect the barriers to clinical trial participation for patients. Panelists include Mark Fleury, PhD (American Cancer Society), Pia Banerjee, PhD (American Cancer Society) and Cheryl Stratos (Melanoma Survivor, and Chief Patient Advocate at 1104Health).
Melanoma Survivor & Patient Advocate, Cheryl Stratos, will discuss the importance of advocating for yourself on your cancer journey, and how to do that. We are going to use this time to go through the rules of engagement to effectively attack the early stage of diagnosis. Cheryl Stratos is a Stage IV Melanoma Survivor that enrolled herself in a clinical trial that ended up saving her life. Since her diagnosis, she has dedicated herself to advocating for research advancement.
Understanding your diagnosis is key to determining the right treatment. Dr. Govind Warrier, Assistant Professor of Oncology with Johns Hopkins Melanoma Group, and Cheryl Stratos will present a conversational approach to helping you understand:
• Your Melanoma Diagnosis
• The importance of the pathology report
• How to think about your care team
What does it mean to truly advocate for yourself & how do you do it?
Cheryl Stratos is joined by 2 Melanoma survivors, Trena Brown and T.J. Sharpe, as they share their different treatment journeys and lessons learned. Trena dealt with ups and downs after a misdiagnosis, and TJ relied on second opinions & research to get on a clinical trial that saved his life. This session will give perspective and guidance to help you effectively navigate this cancer diagnosis.
Hear from a medical oncologist at Maryland Oncology Hematology how he thinks about treatment decisions for his patients. Why would he consider clinical trials and how does he go about it? This will arm you with information and questions to apply to your own treatment journey.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, 1104Health presents a webinar for Breast Cancer Patients & Caregivers on filling the treatment gaps.
