Tumor Boards
At Memorial Cancer Institute, you have a large multidisciplinary cancer treatment team on your side. One way they work together to find the very best therapy to beat your cancer is through weekly, monthly or bimonthly tumor boards.
Tumor boards are meetings in which every doctor involved in your cancer treatment sits down together to discuss your case and plan your course of care. Rather than simply reading each other’s notes, they meet in person to exchange ideas and explore every cancer treatment option available. This means you get better care, and better chances to win your cancer battle.
General and disease-specific tumor boards are scheduled when needed, but the following meet on a regular basis:
- Breast cancer
- GI malignancies
- Head and neck cancer
- Hematologic malignancies
- Lung cancer
- Gynecological cancers
Memorial Cancer Institute also has multidisciplinary team clinics for lung cancer and breast cancer patients, in which you, the patient, meet with the team to discuss your cancer treatment, progress and planning.
Please call Memorial Cancer Institute to schedule an appointment: 954-265-4325, or email us at [email protected].
