During the 2026 ASCO Quality Care Symposium, Ravi Parikh, MD, MPP, FACP, of Emory University and the Editor-in-Chief of ASCO AI in Oncology, spoke with Haofan (Will) Yang, BS, MPH, of the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University, about his poster presentation on a retrospective cohort study using machine learning to determine patterns among patients with non–small cell lung cancer receiving palliative care. In the study they identified six patterns in terms of initiation timing and engagement intensity, which called attention to disparities in palliative care use.
