All patients with a clinically suspected or histologically confirmed initial diagnosis of a thoracic tumour are discussed on an interdisciplinary basis.
These are most frequently non-small cell and small cell bronchial carcinomas, but also include thoracic metastases of other tumours, pleural mesotheliomas, thymic neoplasms and rare entities with thoracic tumour manifestations.
The tumour board also provides a forum for discussing difficult treatment decisions during the course of the disease, the optimal combination of surgery, systemic therapy and radiotherapy and the diagnosis of recurrence.
