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)

Pharmacists (PharmD)

Physicians (MD or DO)

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

• Discuss evidence-based use of diagnostic studies, systemic, and integrative medicine approaches in treating tumors.

• Formulate multidisciplinary recommendations for cancer treatments, and applications to individual patient cases based on data, patient preferences confirmed via shared decision-making, and current research.

• Evaluate multifaceted cases where findings and treatments are not apparent to develop individualized care plans for hard-to-solve cases with support from the interprofessional care team.

• Demonstrate cultural humility in the ability to deliver culturally appropriate care, free of implicit biases, for families of diverse cultural backgrounds and belief systems. This includes learning from the patients and families directly about how they perceive health and illness as well as respond to various diseases, symptoms, and treatments.
