In recent decades, the complexity of cancer care has grown exponentially. Provision of high-quality care delivery requires access to and coordination amongst diverse members of the healthcare team, including, but not limited to, providers in medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, radiology, and supportive care. A key strategy for coordinating treatment plans is the use of interdisciplinary conferences in which physicians, nurses and technicians from these diverse disciplines collaboratively make treatment plans termed multidisciplinary tumor boards. 1 These meetings also provide a mechanism for obtaining feedback from colleagues on challenging cases requiring complex decision making. Although results are mixed, some studies have shown benefits of multidisciplinary tumor boards in improving diagnostic accuracy, quality of life, provision of up-to-date treatment, and survival. 2 The use of multidisciplinary tumor boards has become a quality standard by accrediting organizations such as the Commission on Cancer, which requires at least 15% of all new cases at an institution to be presented to tumor boards. Tumor boards are also increasing internationally, with 86% of members of the American Society of Clinical Oncology practicing outside the US reporting access to tumor boards at their institution. 3While tumor boards bring together multiple clinical perspectives, they substantively lack the patient voice. The patient perspective largely is brought to the discussion by the primary presenting physicians. These individuals may or may not share insights into the patient’s current functional status and preferences for care. Even if the physician does choose to share this subjective information informally, it is important to recognize the imperfect nature of the physician reporter.
