Series Description:

Multidisciplinary and interprofessional experts (i.e., specialties including surgery, radiology, and medical or radiation oncology) thoroughly review complex oncology cases and discuss treatment recommendations. The series is designed with the goal of promoting multidisciplinary approaches to treatment planning and leveraging the expertise of the interprofessional cancer care team in sharing of knowledge, emerging evidence, and collaborative responsibility of care. Case discussions include staging, treatment options, and recommendations for clinical trial participation. Participants will evaluate current data and updates on evidence-based clinical best practice information, such as current NCCN guidelines, in making treatment recommendations for these cases.

Target Audience: 

Nurse Practitioner (NP)

Nurse, Registered (RN)

Physicians (MD or DO)

Other Healthcare Professionals

Learning Objectives- After Attending this Activity, Learners Should be Able to:

1. Prioritize interprofessional collaboration during review of difficult and unique patient cases in order gain consensus and achieve an informed decision on the ideal treatment plan recommendations for each patient presented at the Breast Tumor Board utilizing evidence-based guidelines (i.e., NCCN).

2. Identify appropriate candidates for clinical trial participation based on critical analysis of emerging evidence and discussion of current patient-level data.

3. Apply best practice recommendations in the practice of clinical staging documentation.

4. Discuss what matters most to patients and families in order to engage in and support shared decision-making discussions with the patient and family about palliative care preferences, genetic testing, or smoking cessation as applicable.
