Tumor Board

The tumor board plays a central role in the treatment of GIST. In this interdisciplinary tumor conference, experts from all relevant disciplines come together once a week for treatment.

As part of the tumor board, we offer an efficient and competent assessment by proven specialists. Taking the individual patient situation into account, the diagnosis, treatment concept and aftercare are drawn up for the patient in interdisciplinary discussions based on internationally recognized standards and guidelines.

The referring doctors are welcome to take part in the tumor board. Participation is mandatory for internal physicians.

When: weekly, Tuesday, 16.30 Uhr
Where: INO E (Orthopädie), Rapportraum, Zimmer E611
Moderation: PD Dr. med. Attila Kollàr
