Neuroscience Multidisciplinary Tumor Board

One of my clinical passions is the care of patients suffering with cancer affecting the brain or spine. Since I began my career at Beaumont twelve years ago, I have progressively and consistently built our neurosurgical oncology program. When I first began, Neuroscience Tumor Board was held once a month. Then I facilitated increasing our meetings to twice a month. Approximately five or six years ago, in collaboration with my colleagues, we increased the frequency of our Neuroscience Multidisciplinary Tumor Board Meetings to weekly. I am always there, in the middle of the second row, helping guide the discussion of these complex cases along with my colleagues. This is an important conference for patient care, but also important for education. This conference is a way for faculty to learn from each other and a great way for us to educate our residents, fellows, and medical students.
