View the full article at: https://oncdata.com/oncology-unfiltered-tumor-board-vs-tuesday-afternoon Tumor boards play a pivotal role in oncology care. For clinicians, they represent the ideal environment: multiple specialists, shared context, and time to debate the gray areas that guidelines can’t fully capture. However, during a busy afternoon in the clinic, the plans developed in tumor boards often prove less straightforward to implement. In this episode of Oncology Unfiltered, Melissa Cutrona, MS, and Matthew Hadfield, DO, OncData Editor in Chief, unpack why tumor boards are so valuable, where they fall short, and how to bridge the gap between a coordinated plan and the reality of care delivery on a busy clinic day.
