At Carroll Hospital Center, the care of cancer patients is enhanced through a Cancer Conference that is held twice a month. All members of the oncology team—including surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, radiologists and pathologists—meet to discuss patient cases and appropriate treatment options.

 

The conferences are open to other health care providers and members of the community, such as primary care physicians, specialists, nurses and social workers. According to the Commission on Cancer, these conferences promote the best possible care by enhancing the patient management process, improving outcomes and providing valuable education to physicians, staff and others in attendance.

 

For more information about the Cancer Conference, please contact the Oncology Information Coordinator at 410-871-6545.
