Tumor Boards

At Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center, our multidisciplinary model provides quicker, more accurate diagnoses, resulting in unique and personalized treatment plans. Teams from across our NCI-designated Cancer Center—from surgeons to cancer-trained dietitians—regularly gather in meetings we call tumor boards. During these meetings we discuss patient cases, develop treatment plans and recommend available clinical trials. Our tumor boards also offer excellent learning opportunities for residents and fellows to see how collaboration can advance comprehensive cancer care.
