Our Tumor Board

Tumor Board Conferences are held bi-weekly to review  cancer cases that were diagnosed or treated at McKee. The board is an interdisciplinary team composed of surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, primary care physicians, other specialties, oncology nurses, clinical research specialists, care coordinators, social workers, pharmacists and a program administrator. All are charged with discussing each case and making a recommendation together for the best treatment of each cancer patient. 

The first half hour of each Tumor Board meeting is dedicated to a breast conference. Breast cases diagnosed or treated at McKee Medical Center are reviewed at this time. This segment is as above, with the addition of  professionals specializing in breast diagnostics and treatment .
