Daily News | Tumor boards are revolutionizing cancer care by bringing your case to a panel of leading experts. Here’s how
Patient X had cancer. The case was complicated, and the doctor, Temple’s Joseph Friedberg, wanted a second opinion.The doctors, who meet regularly to review such cases, considered the patient’s medical history, CT scan, biopsy results, and other pertinent health information. Ideas and what-ifs flowed. By the end of the meeting, the group had agreed on the best approach to treatment.
The surgery really has not changed in many years. How we accomplish the surgery now includes additional options, like robotic surgery, but the specimen is going to look the same if you look at one now versus 20 years ago. On the other hand, there has been a revolution in the medical treatment of these cancers, particularly with the immunotherapies and targeted treatments. The techniques that are used in radiation therapy have significantly improved.
To review Mr. X’s case, I will have prepared by getting the appropriate scans and a pulmonary function test, and in all likelihood, he will have had a biopsy. I’ll present his case — relevant medical details, his history, and things that might make him high-risk for surgery or high-risk for radiation. And then we’ll discuss it. We’ll keep saying, “What if… ? What if …?” It gets complicated.
