This program marks the beginning of a five-part masterclass series. During this program, you'll listen to the module, and then in the second part, you'll assess your understanding.
It’s important to have proper communication within the multidisciplinary team (MDT) prior to testing. Key considerations include discussing testing types and tissue needs, communicating with the physician performing the biopsy or surgical resection, and finally, aligning within the MDT on testing priorities so that available tissue is used efficiently. Dr. Michael Overman and Dr. Anil Parwani are here in the first module of this Precision Medicine Masterclass to discuss this topic. Dr. Overman is an Oncologist and Professor at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, and Dr. Parwani is an Anatomical Pathologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio.
