Care and Treatment of Skin Cancer
Multidisciplinary Clinics and Tumor Boards
Tumor boards are meetings where specialists from surgery, medical
oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, genetics, and pathology
collaboratively review a patient's condition and determine the best
treatment plan. Through this multidisciplinary approach, patients have
access to a diverse team of Stanford cancer experts instead of relying
on a single opinion.
At the weekly Tumor Board meetings, the brain tumor physicians come together to discuss the diagnosis and treatment for their most complex cases. They share their insights and expertise in this interdisciplinary setting to ensure that the most appropriate, research driven diagnosis and treatment decisions are made for each of their patients.
