Description: 

Multidisciplinary and interprofessional experts (i.e., specialties including surgery, radiology, and medical or radiation oncology) thoroughly review complex oncology cases and discuss treatment recommendations. The series is designed with the goal of promoting multidisciplinary approaches to treatment planning and leveraging the expertise of the interprofessional cancer care team in sharing of knowledge, emerging evidence, and collaborative responsibility of care. Case discussions include staging, treatment options, and recommendations for clinical trial participation. Participants will evaluate current data and updates on evidence-based clinical best practice information, such as current NCCN guidelines, in making treatment recommendations for these cases.
