The Importance Of A Dedicated Head & Neck Tumor Board

To best serve our patients, we have created what is called a Head & Neck Tumor Board, allowing providers from different training backgrounds to pool their resources, ideas, and expertise in service of a customized treatment solution. Our newly established Head & Neck Tumor Board ensures each patient receives exemplary holistic care tailored to their specific needs.

What Is a Head & Neck Tumor Board?

A tumor board is a formal meeting between practitioners of different medical disciplines who work synergistically to elevate the care of cancer patients. These multidisciplinary treatment planning liaisons have a goal of aggregating all relative diagnostic material related to individual cases; exploring alternatives to recommended treatment plans; assigning treatment plan staging; encouraging communication and transparency between specializations; and hosting an arena in which second opinions can be voiced and discussed transparently. Head and neck tumor boards often include head and neck surgeons, oncologists, pathologists, endocrinologists, neurosurgeons, and others.
