Cancer Conferences
Cancer conferences are a consultative service
for cancer diagnosis and treatment planning,
and provide general cancer updates to the
medical staff.
These conferences allow the cancer team –
including surgeons, radiation oncologists,
medical oncologists, pathologists, radiologists,
care coordinators and clinical trial nurses – to
discuss cancer cases and determine the best
treatment plan for patients.
The longest ongoing cancer conference is the
weekly hospital-wide tumor board that has a
case composition of the major sites and/or
unusual sites as well as histologies requiring
treatment decisions. This conference and the
site-specific conferences offer Category 1 CME
credits to the medical staff. All conferences
provide prospective case review.
