Community Memorial has long been committed to supporting cancer patients
and their families, from diagnosis to recovery. Our
Cancer Resource Center offers services, support, and educational opportunities for cancer patients,
their families and caregivers, and our community at large. We offer these
services at no cost, in a welcoming, non-hospital environment. Many of
our classes are now available virtually.
Cancer Conference (Tumor Board)
Our interdisciplinary Cancer Conference meets weekly to discuss new and
existing cases. This includes the evaluation of patients for clinical
trial referral and the review of National Comprehensive Cancer Network
(NCCN) guidelines in treatment discussions. The group consists of radiologists,
medical and radiation oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, and other experts.
While maintaining patient confidentiality, the group goes over the imaging,
test results, and pathology biopsy slides pertaining to a specific case.
Then, they discuss the pros and cons of different therapies. By marshalling
the expertise of different specialists, the Cancer Conference helps us
give our patients the best care and achieve the best possible outcome.
