In today’s episode, we welcome Principal Researcher Dr. David Tamborero who was integral to the development of the Molecular Tumor Board Portal to discuss the benefits associated with molecular tumor boards and the way in which the portal can support the discussions that take place at tumor board meetings, as well as how these initiatives can support the management of patients with thyroid cancer.

Target Audience:
Oncologists, pathologists and other HCPs involved in the diagnosis of RET and TRK cancers, with a focus on community practitioners.
Learning Objective:

Recall thyroid RET and TRK fusion-positive cancer diagnosis and relevant genomic testing guidelines and identify ways to adapt the guidelines to local settings
Discuss “precision medicine” and new technologies, including “liquid biopsy”
Review the organisation of care and strategies for more efficient care delivery

These learning objectives are for the podcast series. This episode focuses on the second and third objective.
