At my current hospital (non-academic) we are now up to 8 tumor conferences, 10 total if you count placenta and M&M! What’s next…toenail conference? At some of these, they’re presenting 10+ patients. Granted, some are bi-weekly or monthly; and, it’s divided between my colleagues, but it’s been ramping up in frequency and subspecialty over the years. I think money is a factor i.e. being an accredited breast, thoracic, etc. center = grants/state funding. Whatever happened to the days when there was only one weekly general tumor conference with 2 cases…?
