The 16th Multidisciplinary Management of Cancers: A Case-based Approach
Silverado Resort and Spa - Napa, CA
This conference will present the most current information on multidisciplinary approaches in clinical oncology, and will consist of tumor board cases on breast, CNS, cutaneous malignancies, developmental therapeutics, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, hematological malignancies, lymphoma, supportive oncology & survivorship, and thoracic cancers. The tumor board cases will be presented by faculty, with discussion by a panel of surgical, radiation and medical oncologists from Stanford, UCSF, UC Davis and the practice community.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
1. Develop multidisciplinary treatment strategies based on national clinical practice guidelines in oncology in order to improve quality of care for cancer patients.
2. Counsel patients on pharmacological and psychiatric strategies to manage pain.
3. Discuss relevant clinical trials with cancer patients and refer appropriately.
4. Appropriately refer cancer patients to palliative care.

Statement of Educational Need
Because the standard of care in oncology changes rapidly with new discoveries, there is a need for frequent updates of practical relevance for practicing oncologists. This conference will emphasize standard of care issues for various cancers including diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making and optimal approaches to supportive and palliative care.
The faculty at the Stanford Cancer Institute, UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, put a premium on optimal multidisciplinary modeling treatment and education of the practicing oncologist to ensure they are up to date. The American Society for Clinical Oncology recommends this multidisciplinary meeting format. This symposium and its faculty specifically address the clinical guidelines set forth in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network.
Target Audience
This course is designed for national physicians specializing in medical, surgical and radiation oncology as well as nurses, pharmacists and other allied health professionals who work with cancer patients.
Call for Case Submissions
Registrants are encouraged to submit a case or cases for the panels to discuss. Deadline for case submissions is Friday, December 30, 2015. The organizing committee and panel chairs will select cases.
