ForwardDescription:
When patients are managed based on multidisciplinary team evaluation, cancer outcomes tend to improve. This approach enhances clinical decision-making, patient experience, and overall clinical outcomes. Tumor boards play a crucial role in this process by supporting interdisciplinary teams. They enable cross-validation of diagnostic findings, identify discordance between diagnostic tests, and facilitate accurate cancer staging according to the available evidence. Additionally, tumor boards help identify contra-indications for personalized treatment selection.
Target Audience:
Nurse Practitioner (NP)
Physicians (MD or DO)
Physician Assistant (PA)
Social Workers
Learning Objectives:
After Attending This Activity Learners Should Be Able To:
1. Engage in interprofessional collaboration during review of difficult and unique patient cases in order gain consensus and achieve an informed decision on the ideal treatment plan for each patient presented at the Tumor Board utilizing evidence-based guidelines (i.e., NCCN).
2. Apply best practice recommendations in the practice of clinical staging documentation.
3. Engage in shared decision making discussions with the patient and family about palliative care preferences, genetic testing, or smoking cessation as applicable.
4. Demonstrate cultural humility in the ability to deliver culturally appropriate care, free of implicit biases, for families of diverse cultural backgrounds and belief systems. This includes learning from the patients and families directly about how they perceive health and illness as well as respond to various diseases, symptoms, and treatments.
