Care always remains with the clinician.

ARC Portal takes complex evidence, specialist opinion, and genomic insight, and turns them into clear, actionable guidance that clinicians can use while always keeping care with the treating team.

The process has been designed to be as simple as possible for referring clinicians, acknowledging that rare cancers are complex and advice needs to be provided as quickly as possible.

This year's MOGA Annual Scientific Meeting was a great success. The theme, Reimagining Cancer Care: Is Less Doing More?, brought medical oncologists, trainees and researchers together to examine treatment de-escalation and what personalised care really means in practice.

ARC Portal was well represented this year. Assoc Prof Bryan Chan, Dr Arabella Widders and Dr Chloe Georgiou joined Dr Zhang on the Gold Coast, connecting with clinicians and colleagues from across the oncology community over three days of scientific sessions, trainee education and networking.

Australia’s landmark approach to immunotherapy access is gaining international recognition.
