???? Oncology Bytes – COA 2025 | Featuring Dr. Bilal Abid
In this episode, Dr. Bilal Abid, an academic clinician scientist based in Houston, discusses one of the most pressing challenges in oncology: building equitable access to cellular therapies in community settings.
Drawing from his experience at COA 2025 and his clinical work, Dr. Abid covers:

- How community practices are preparing for bispecifics and CAR-T therapy
- The disparity in access based on ZIP code and insurance.
- Why building uniform infrastructure for cellular therapy is essential for health equity
- The "offensive triangle" model between academic centers, community oncologists, and pharma partners
- How collaboration can bring advanced therapies to all patients, not just those near large academic institutions

Dr. Abid emphasizes that as oncology moves forward, no patient should be left behind in accessing transformative treatments.
