evaluate and discuss patients for whom a multidisciplinary approach is being considered.
Patients can request that their care be discussed by a tumor board. The multidisciplinary group
will collectively design the best course of action for each patient.
The new patient coordinators at the designated contact number will assist in setting up the
appointment, outlining what medical information to collect and bring, and what insurance
information is required.
