National tumor board

The society runs a national head and neck tumor board. It meets once a month, online.

Surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists from different hospitals review cases together. The chair rotates between institutions.

Presenting a case

Members present cases using a standard template.

• Slides are de-identified. No names, record numbers or dates of birth.
• Patient information is never shared in the meeting chat.
• Sessions are not recorded.

The treating physician keeps responsibility for the patient and discusses the board’s opinion with them.
