Multi Disciplinary Case Conferences (MCC)

Multidisciplinary Cancer Conferences (MCCs) are regularly scheduled meetings where healthcare providers discuss the diagnosis and treatment of individual cancer patients. The intent of the MCC is to prospectively review individual cancer patients and make recommendations on best management, keeping in mind that individual physicians are responsible for making the ultimate treatment decision. MCCs also

• Provide a forum for the continuing education of medical staff & health professionals
• Contribute to patient care quality improvement activities and practice audit
• Contribute to the development of standardized patient management protocols
• Contribute to innovation, research, and participation in clinical trials 
• Contribute to linkages among regions to ensure appropriate referrals and timely consultation and to optimize patient care  

Hôpital régional de Sudbury Regional Hospital (HRSRH) hosts MCC sessions in 6 disease sites

All of the MCC sessions, with the exception of Head and Neck use videoconferencing to allow other hospitals within our LHIN to participate. Videoconferencing also allows us to bring in experts from other hospitals outside our LHIN for presentations and opinions/advice on oncology cases. If you would like to join the session via video/teleconference from a site other than HRSRH, please contact Karen Teddy at (705) 522-6237 for connection information.
