Genomic Tumor Boards

“The information presented at the tumor boards is timely, relevant and difficult for the community oncologist to acquire in other ways.” - Sarah Ketchum, M.D., MCGI Clinician

MCGI Genomic Tumor Board (GTB) Series

The MCGI Genomic Tumor Board (GTB) Series is a set of virtual, case-based meetings. Each session brings together oncologists, expert advisors, genetic counselors and medical science liaisons from the respective testing companies to review biomarker test results. The discussions focus on potential treatment options for the patient and supporting the clinicians in applying precision medicine in practice.

Designed to address one of the biggest challenges in cancer care, the interpretation of complex genomic data, GTBs provide an efficient, collaborative forum for translating results into actionable care decisions. Sessions are held virtually for convenient access, CME-eligible and open to clinicians interested in presenting de-identified cases. To learn more, contact [email protected].

Certified CME Activity

Accredited CME in cancer genomics for clinicians. Learn how genomic insights can be applied to support informed, evidence-based patient care.

  • CME credit is tracked through the virtual meeting platform. For in-person participants at MCGI study sites, sign-in is captured on a paper attendance sheet.
  • CME evaluations are sent electronically at the end of the GTB series to everyone who signed in. After submitting the evaluation, physicians receive credit for the sessions they attended. Non-physician attendees do not receive CME credit but may request a certificate of participation.

Clinicians who would like to attend GTB sessions can contact [email protected] to be added to the invitation list.
