the problem is oncs do meds, surgeons do surgery, rads do radiation therapy and interventional rads do what they do and the patients if they are lucky only get to see them altogether prior to treatment for a tumor board.

I hope the internet/videoconferencing could be used to get all the brains together to add what they could do to help a particular patient and so everyone could see the end result of the other doctors' interventions so all would become aware of what was available and what seems to be working.

Until then one can only be vigilant about getting information and trying to spread it around.
