2022-2023 Monthly Oncology Tumor Boards: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Individualized Patient Care

The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) are a set of step-by step evidence-based, consensus-driven recommendations to ensure that patients receive preventive, diagnostic, treatment, and supportive services that are most likely to lead to optimal outcomes.

The NCCN Guidelines provide recommendations for appropriate care for about 95% of patients; however, individual patient circumstances must be considered when applying these recommendations. In all cases, clinicians need to consider the current clinical status of the patient, including general health, disease specifics, concomitant conditions, current and previous therapies, and the patient’s preferences when applying the guidelines to ensure optimal care for the individual. The multidisciplinary team discusses how to best apply appropriate standard of care, including identifying circumstances where appropriate management requires adapting the NCCN Guidelines to the needs of the individual.

This activity series will discuss the specific recommendations in the NCCN Guidelines as well as unique patient circumstances that impact how the guidelines might be best applied.
