Beginning in July, the weekly Pulmonary Tumor Board Series will be certified for credits from the AMA and AAPA. The series meets each Thursday, 7-8 a.m., in the Cancer Institute Conference Room, fourth floor, Building D.

It is ideal for thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, gastroenterologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, diagnostic radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, pathologists, primary care physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals.
Using case-based discussion, the group reviews available therapies, emerging regimens, treatment guidelines based upon national standards, clinical trials and diagnostic strategies for chest disease.
