| Brendon Stiles @BrendonStilesMD @findlungcancer I think this is often a great strategy! #lcsm |
| Andrea Borondy Kitts @findlungcancer luckily can do pathology "remotely" so access for all #lcsm |

| Andrea Borondy Kitts @findlungcancer T1 yes allows people to be more comfortable at home with their social support systems intact #lcsm |
| Don Stranathan @don450sl @BrendonStilesMD @lcsmchat T1 Tbanks for sharing #LCSM |
| Brendon Stiles @BrendonStilesMD @plh4lisa @CUCancerCenter T1. Do most people consider "an hour" far? I would have thought so. #lcsm |
| #LCSM Chat @lcsmchat RT @findlungcancer: T1 yes allows people to be more comfortable at home with their social support systems intact #lcsm https://t.co/RIfXtEE… |
| Brendon Stiles @BrendonStilesMD T1. You can find great docs anywhere, but I do think specialty, high volume multidisciplinary cancer practices can provide some advantages. #lcsm |
| Andrea Borondy Kitts @findlungcancer T1 That was implied in my response thank you for clarifying #lcsm |
| Brendon Stiles @BrendonStilesMD T1. To me, this is particularly true of technical and equipment dependent specialties such as #surgery and #radonc #lcsm |
| #LCSM Chat @lcsmchat RT @BrendonStilesMD: @plh4lisa @CUCancerCenter T1. Do most people consider "an hour" far? I would have thought so. #lcsm |
| Lisa Moran @plh4lisa @BrendonStilesMD @CUCancerCenter Not far compared to hours/days of driving or flying to care. #lcsm |
| Danielle Pardue @Actorielle @BrendonStilesMD @plh4lisa @CUCancerCenter We go exactly an hour any time we need to go to the parent hospital of our satellite. An hour is more or less expected in my town, because that's the length of time to the next sizeable city. But: most of our appts and needs can be handled locally at the satellite. #lcsm |
| Brendon Stiles @BrendonStilesMD T1. High volume oncology practices also can make a big difference and may have more access to or knowledge of clinical trials. #lcsm |
 | Jan Marie Eberth @jmeberth #LCSM Hi everyone, cancer researcher from South Carolina on the chat line! very much looking forward to the topic tonight. |
| Don Stranathan @don450sl @lcsmchat Still trying to navigate Twitter #LCSM |
| Janet Freeman-Daily @JFreemanDaily @BrendonStilesMD @plh4lisa @CUCancerCenter T1: I travel 1000+ miles (according to Alaska Airlines) from Seattle to Denver--because that was the closest location of the targeted therapy clinical trial I needed. #lcsm |
| Andrea Borondy Kitts @findlungcancer T1 I would say one hour is local - I think of travel as something hard to go and come back the same day i.e. need an overnight stay #lcsm |
| Timothy Craig Allen, MD, JD, FCAP @TimAllenMDJD Absolutely! #PatientCenteredCare #WhyPathologistsMatter #PatientsFirst #Telemedicine #Telehealth #lcsm |
| Lung Cancer Sux @LungCancerSux T1 we didn't travel far for chemo RT. Biopsy local also. There were no actionable markers to test for at that time #lcsm |
| Brendon Stiles @BrendonStilesMD T1. But…sometimes I think best models are those in which doctors travel to patients for routine consults! Specialty inpatient or highly technical care can then happen at regional center of excellence. #lcsm |

| Brendon Stiles @BrendonStilesMD T2. Is there data supporting the concept that surgery/oncology/radiation oncology results are better at high volume, specialty centers? #lcsm |
| Laura Greco @lgreco_ny @BrendonStilesMD @plh4lisa @CUCancerCenter T1: I don't consider that far. I drove that much daily for my commute. #lcsm |

| Andrea Borondy Kitts @findlungcancer T1 it also depends on the type of care -- radiation is hard bc often can be every day for many weeks, with some new modalities it is easier with higher localized doses and fewer visits - surgery is special - need to go to the best wherever theyt are #LCSM |

| Brendon Stiles @BrendonStilesMD T2. Regionalization of lung cancer surgery is also already a “thing” in Canada. @CTS_SCT @ThoracicsCanada #lcsm https://t.co/YYlE3pKkzv |

| Janet Freeman-Daily @JFreemanDaily Closing thoughts: Good #lungcancer care is worth time and trouble of second opinion at cancer center that does a lot of surgery, bronchoscopy, genomic testing, etc. Even if you love your current doc--if he truly cares about patients, he'll understand.

| Biniam Kidane @biniamkidaneMD Although “socialized medicine” may be a dirty phrase for our 🇺🇸 neighbours, a good regionalized system stems from that. There are different perspectives on this but my sense is that its hard to focus on delivering best care to all people when the primary driver is profit #LCSM |

| Enlightening Results 😷 @GraceCordovano @VamsiVelcheti @BrendonStilesMD Unfortunately, not in an easily accessible manner. For ex, if I look up a #medonc or #surgonc, their bio is not very helpful to me. I want data on volume of patients, procedures, diagnoses, sub-specialties, etc. Not at a patient's fingertips which is a barrier. #lcsm |
| Lung Cancer #1 cancer killer of women @VirginiaMByrne @findlungcancer Here's another odd response: when I recently had to insist on getting a brain scan (it had been 10 months) onc said "If there's metastasis, what are you going to do about it?" #LCSM |
