How it works
By bringing all the specialties together we’re able to coordinate and customize each patient’s treatment. For example, is a patient a candidate for surgery? Will they require chemotherapy or radiation, or are hormone therapy or immunotherapy medications appropriate? All of these options are discussed by the Multidisciplinary Team up front at the time of diagnosis.
Directly after the meeting, the specialists meet with their patients in a series of consultations, all on the same day. Afterward, a Breast Care Nurse Navigator answers any remaining questions the patients may have and sets up following appointments and services. Every patient leaves with a binder of information and clear understanding of their treatment plan.
