What is a Tumor Board? Multidisciplinary Lung Cancer Care Explained 🫁 | Living Room® Highlights

You might assume your oncologist makes treatment decisions alone, but at quality cancer centers, your care plan is actually developed by a full team of experts. In this clip, Dr. Millie Das (Stanford Medicine) explains the function of a 'tumor board'—a multidisciplinary meeting where Medical Oncologists, Thoracic Surgeons, Radiologists, and Pulmonologists gather, often virtually, to collectively review your specific case. This collaboration helps to expedite your care, saving you from having to visit each specialist separately 'at different times' just to get a unified plan.

In this Living Room® Highlight, Dr. Millie Das of Stanford Medicine takes you inside the "Tumor Board"—a weekly meeting where Medical Oncologists, Thoracic Surgeons, Radiologists, and Pulmonologists gather to debate and collaborate on your specific case.

She explains how this multidisciplinary team reviews cases to ensure that you get the perfect sequence of treatment without having to visit five different specialists separately.
