Welcome to The ASCO Tumor Boards, an ongoing educational series guided by Bhoomi Mehrotra, MD, and Robert Mennel, MD of the Education Products Subcommittee. The series consists of individual modules that provide learners with the opportunity to discuss practice-relevant medical advances through a patient case presentation and an online discussion forum.
The patient case, prepared by expert faculty, is presented through slides followed by links to key references. Learners may also participate in the discussion forum to pose questions about the case to the faculty and one another. The discussion forum is open for two weeks after which comments are summarized and posted within the module. |
