NCCN Tumor Boards: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Individualized Patient Care
The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) offer evidence-based recommendations to support oncologists and other healthcare professionals in making critical clinical decisions. Continuously updated to reflect evolving data, the guidelines provide access to high-quality information evaluated by expert clinicians from NCCN Member Institutions.
While the NCCN Guidelines address appropriate care for about 95% of patients with cancer, individual patient circumstances—such as general health, disease specifics, prior treatments, and patient preferences—must guide their application. Tumor Boards provide a forum for review of multidisciplinary considerations, patient-specific factors, and tumor-specific recommendations that influence effective application of the NCCN Guidelines to ensure that care is tailored to each patient and to optimize management across various cancer types.
Target Audience
This program is designed to meet the educational needs of physicians/oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician associates, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who manage patients with cancer.
Learning Objectives
The goal of this project is to ensure that members of the interprofessional oncology care team have the knowledge and skills necessary to:
- Apply the current recommendations for oncology care and key updates in the NCCN Guidelines to optimize the management of patients with various cancer types.
- Evaluate new, emerging, and novel therapeutic agents, treatment strategies, and clinical trials data and apply relevant findings into the management of patients with cancer.
- Communicate with members of the interprofessional oncology care team to improve collaborative performance in the management of patients with cancer and the delivery of oncology care.
