Target Audience and Needs

Gastroenterologists, hepatologists, medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, thoracic surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, fellows, residents, and medical students need to receive regular updates on advances in the surgical and radiotherapeutic management of gastrointestinal cancer.  The tumor board aims to advance the knowledge of learners regarding the fundamentals of tumor biology and the effects of tumor biology on treatment decisions.  The tumor board also aims to promote a collaborative approach to complex cancer care, enhance the quality of gastrointestinal cancer care, and improve patient outcomes.


Educational Methods

Educational methods will include lectures, case presentations, and literature review.

  • Demonstrate greater understanding of the fundamentals of tumor biology and of how tumor biology factors into medical decision-making.
  • Identify barriers to patient involvement in clinical trials and ways to overcome them.
