Welcome to OncLive On Air^®! I’m your host today, Jessica Hergert.

In both digital and print formats, OncLive^® covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In today’s episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Pat A. Basu, MD, MBA, president and chief executive officer of Cancer Treatment Centers of America, to discuss the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer care and screening and its effects on minority populations.

In our exclusive interview, Basu discussed the “shadow curve” that could result from disruptions in cancer care during the COVID-19 pandemic and innovative strategies that Cancer Treatment Centers of America are taking to avoid this.
