, Pathology Conference Room/ Virtual, Washington, MD

The gynecologic oncology tumor board is a twice-monthly meeting of gynecologic oncologists, obstetrician/gynecologists, pathologist, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists who specialize in the care of women with gynecologic malignancies. The tumor board allows careful review of all gynecologic oncology cases that present at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. The purpose of these discussions is to ensure quality care for each patient. Cases are presented prior to initiation of treatment and/or after the completion of surgery to ensure the optimal coordination of care and development of treatment plans. During discussion at the conference, a focus is placed on recent changes in literature and how that impacts each individual patient. We insure that all patients receive standard of care according to the NCCN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network) guidelines and assess patients for clinical trials and genetics testing.
