Multidisciplinary groups

Multidisciplinary team meetings (known as Tumour Boards) have been held at the Centre for several years. Weekly meetings are held for the most common types of cancer, such as breast, gastrointestinal and lung cancer. Meetings for almost all other malignancies are organised more infrequently. The decisions of the Tumour Boards are recorded in minutes and the treatment plan for each patient is determined.

Specialist Units

All patients are attended to by oncologists specialising in the specific type of cancer.
