Course description

The thoracic oncology multidisciplinary teams are playing an increasing role in the management of thoracic malignancies. These teams have a great potential to improve the patient care and the health care system, however, they are faced by many challenges. The multidisciplinary approach has become very crucial recently due to the ever-increasing complexity of medical knowledge and the huge wealth of information that is available to physicians, in addition to the complexity of the various medical procedures and interventions available for cancer care. The multidisciplinary tumor board plays a critical role in the whole spectrum of cancer management including diagnosis, staging, treatment and palliative care.


Target audience:

Medical Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Cardiothoracic Surgeons, Pathologists, Pulmonologists, Pharmacists, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Radiologic Technologists, Patient Care Facilitators and all personnel involved in the care of the lung cancer patient.

Registration is limited to Medical Staff and Employees.


Learning objectives:

  • Implement optimal course of treatment for thoracic cancer patients.
  • Utilize multiple disciplinary approaches to determine diagnosis and treatment options, including radiological findings.
  • Determine cancer staging using various imaging modalities of thoracic cancers.
  • Promote a multidisciplinary team approach by bridging gaps across the continuum of care in order to enhance the overall quality of patient-centered thoracic cancer care.

Pre-registration is required. Please log in to register.
