A tumor board consists of a group of experts who discuss the condition and finding of the individual patient. Tumor board meetings are an integral part of the NCT concept. They concentrate the professional competence of an oncologic center of excellence: The expertise and experience of physicians meet the knowledge and skills of scientists, resulting in an optimized treatment proposal. The involvement of physicians of different fields of expertise ensures the high quality of the following treatment.
Experienced physicians discuss the progression of the disease, X-ray images, and examination results in order to elaborate an individualized treatment proposal. Oncologists and radiologists consult with surgeons of different fields of expertise on the case.
Each week, the experts at NCT hold tumor board meetings on different oncologic diseases.
