The primary interests of the Society are:
To identify and work to improve oncology practice issues that adversely affect patient access to cancer care
To act as a patient advocate to assure that patients have access to the best available care
To support and encourage clinical research against cancer
In order to carry out these interests, some of the goals for the Society include:
Affect legislation and public policy relative to patient access to cancer care
Act as a resource on the "accepted medical practices" associated with cancer care
Provide a forum for education of our members on current technologies and their role as accepted medical practices
Provide communications to our members and others on issues affecting patient access to cancer care and the practice of oncology
