Cancer Treatment Pathway
Here at St Vincent’s, your treating team will be involved in a multidisciplinary meeting. You may hear this referred to as “MDM”. This is a collaborative meeting with the surgeons, gastroenterologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, cancer nurse, dietitian and many more. If you have a new diagnosis, your images and pathology will be reviewed by this extensive team and planning for your care will begin. This ensures that all relevant medical staff are on the same page and are able to discuss many different options to ensure you are receiving the best possible care. If you would like more information on this meeting, please contact your Cancer Nurse Coordinator.
