A Multidisciplinary Tumor Program, also known as a Multidisciplinary Tumor Board or Tumor Conference, is a specialized approach to cancer care that involves a collaborative team of healthcare professionals from various disciplines. The goal of these programs is to provide comprehensive and coordinated care for individuals diagnosed with cancer. The multidisciplinary team typically includes experts from medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, radiology, and other relevant specialties.
Participation in a Multidisciplinary Tumor Program can lead to more personalized, evidence-based, and coordinated care for individuals facing a cancer diagnosis. It harnesses the collective expertise of a diverse group of healthcare professionals to optimize treatment outcomes and improve the overall patient experience.
