Course Description:

The Gastrointestinal Cancer Multidisciplinary Tumor Board plays a critical role in the spectrum of cancer management of gastrointestinal malignancies, including diagnosis, staging, treatment and palliative care. The multidisciplinary approach has become 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.

Target audience: 

Medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, colorectal surgeons, pathologists, gastroenterologists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, occupational therapists, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, nurses, social workers, radiologic technologists, and all personnel involved in the care of the gastrointestinal cancer patient.

Learning objectives: 

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