Disclosure of Financial or In-Kind Commercial Support & Conflict of Interest

Dr. Geoffrey Krampitz disclosed a consulting relationship with Intuitive Surgical. This relationship was determined to be relevant to the content of the activity. Mitigation includes oversight by committee chair, multidisciplinary review of cases, and consensus-based treatment recommendations developed by the tumor board. Clinical discussions will remain evidence-based, balanced, and focused on patient-specific considerations. When robotic surgical approaches are discussed, alternative treatment options will be considered as clinically appropriate, and recommendations will be based on multidisciplinary consensus rather than any specific technology or commercial interest.
