Center of Excellence

A Center of Excellence is recognized for having a multidisciplinary, multispecialty team that provides leadership in research, training and best practices.

Renown cuenta con tres centros de excelencia que tratan los cánceres que aparecen en lugares específicos del cuerpo. These include:

1. Cáncer de mama
2. Gastrointestinal Cancer (colon, rectum, liver, pancreas, and stomach)
3. Thoracic Cancer (lung and esophagus)

These teams regularly meet to develop and update clinical guidelines, identify quality initiatives, evaluate clinical trials, and assess new technology and processes.

Cancer Conferences (Tumor Boards)

Multidisciplinary, multispecialty cancer conferences (also called tumor boards) allow cancer specialists, genetic specialists, nurse navigators, nurses, social workers, dietitians, physical therapy specialists, and other providers the opportunity to review new and open cancer cases together and provide expertise from several different viewpoints.

This collaboration allows them to develop a comprehensive treatment plan for each patient early in diagnosis or changes to a patient’s clinical status.
