A case conference or tumor board is a unique opportunity to have an interdisciplinary team of physicians and other health care specialists come together to discuss your case and treatment plan. Pathologists, radiologists, surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, patient navigators, nurses and other specialists discuss the specifics of the case, and often review the latest research that may apply to the situation. The benefit to the patient is the opportunity to have more physicians reviewing the case -- like getting a second, third and fourth opinion all at once.
