We coordinate care across allied disciplines in multidisciplinary tumor boards, where patient needs are discussed and treatment recommendations optimized. We collaborate extensively with local oncologists, primary care physicians, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, and other medical specialties. We are squarely focused on quality of life and work closely with nutritionists, pain management specialists, and therapists.<\/p>\n
