ASCO ATTENDEES CALL FOR MASK MANDATE AMID RISING COVID-19 NUMBERS–UPDATED

May 25, 2022
Marcia Frellick
Independent Healthcare Journalist

Update, 5/25/22: As of May 24, the American Society of Clinical Oncology says
that masks are “expected” at its annual meeting when attendees are indoors and
are not eating, drinking, or presenting.




A strong recommendation to wear masks, rather than a mandate, at the upcoming
American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago is
drawing pleas on social media from some attendees for conference organizers to
strengthen policies.

ASCO states that for the meeting June 3-7, masks are strongly recommended, but
the meeting organizers “will not require masks inside McCormick Place unless
required under Illinois or Chicago guidelines or unless CDC community levels are
high.”

Guidance also says that proof of vaccination will be required. Negative rapid
antigen or PCR COVID-19 tests within 48 hours of entrance to the first session
are required, though the policy states test results will not be checked.

Haley A. Moss, MD, a gynecologic oncologist at Duke University School of
Medicine in Durham, North Carolina, said given worries surrounding COVID-19 she
wasn’t originally planning to go to ASCO but changed her mind when she was asked
to speak. Now, she said, she worries about that decision as she sees case
numbers trending up.




“From my experience, even in the medical community, ‘strongly encouraged’ means
about 50% of the people aren’t going to wear masks,” she said, adding that she
wants ASCO to mandate them.

“I’m not worried about getting COVID. I’m worried about coming home from ASCO on
Monday night and giving it to my 10-month-old or my two-year-old.”

Manali Patel, MD, assistant professor of oncology at Stanford University in Palo
Alto, California, started circulating a letter to colleagues last week asking
for support for a mask mandate at the meeting. Dr. Patel said there were 110
signatures at last count.

“I’m sad that we have to ask. I’m sad that this is even a question,” she said.

She said she has gotten support in response to her letter but also backlash from
some oncologists who say such a mandate is not necessary.

“We see what’s happening in the clinic. COVID is not over,” she said. “This is
not a political issue; this is a medical issue. And we need to take the reins
back.”

Julia Maués, a patient advocate living with metastatic breast cancer, tweeted:
“I am confident most people will DO NO HARM to patients w cancer & [wear masks]
but it should be a requirement.”




She said she and others are speaking with ASCO leaders, and she is hopeful they
will change policy and mandate masks. She is asking other patients and patient
advocates to sign a letter asking that masks be required. Maués reported that
the letter had 78 signatures.

“We all want the same thing: For the meeting to be successful and people to be
safe,” she said.

ASCO declined to comment specifically to OBR about the stated policies, but a
media spokesperson referenced an updated communication posted May 19 on their
website:

“On site in Chicago, ASCO is following health and safety protocols consistent
with or exceeding current World Health Organization and Centers for Disease
Control public health guidelines and local health ordinances. Highly visible
signage throughout the meeting space will serve to remind attendees of ASCO’s
health and safety protocols.

“While Chicago is currently at medium levels of community transmission and
masking is not required under state or local guidelines, this may change by the
time of the meeting. Presently, ASCO strongly urges attendees to wear
medical-grade masks and will provide them free of charge on site.”




Let us know if you will be wearing a mask at ASCO.

Dr. Moss, Dr. Patel, and Maués declared no relevant financial relationships.
