Association of Cancer Care Centers

Association of Cancer Care Centers Founded in 1974, ACCC is a powerful network of more than 45,000 multidisciplinary professionals from over 1,700 provider organizations nationwide.

The Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) promotes the entire continuum of quality cancer care for our patients and our communities. Since 1974, ACCC has been helping oncology professionals adapt to the complex changes of delivering quality cancer care. ACCC members rely on the Association to bring them information on cancer program management, reimbursement issues, legislative and regulatory changes at the state and national levels, community cancer program standards, NCI-funded community clinical research, hospital alliances and physician relationships, and more. More than 28,000 cancer care professionals from more than 2,000 hospitals and practices nationwide are affiliated with ACCC. It is estimated that 65 percent of the nation's cancer patients are treated by a member of ACCC.

About 85% of current participants in cancer clinical trials are White middle-class men. This lack of diversity results in findings that are not necessarily replicable to all patients.

To learn more about Mary Bird Perkins’ approach to clinical trials and the center’s plans for their $400,000 grant from the Gilead Foundation, ACCCBuzz spoke with Victor Lin, MD, PhD, medical director of Clinical Research and Genetics.
