Patients who are treated here have the concentrated attention of a team of doctors and other care providers who specialize in their specific type of cancer and who work cohesively to provide the most advanced and compassionate care possible.
Additionally, treatment teams partner with researchers and academic scholars, nurses, and others in cancer-specific Transdisciplinary Teams (TDT's). Each TDT is charged with formalizing a clinical research strategy, including clinical trial activity, based on local expertise and unmet needs for patients in our region.
University of Vermont Cancer Center members are encouraged to participate in TDT meetings in an effort to most efficiently and expeditiously align transnational research priorities with the needs of patients.
Patients who wish to learn more about TDTs are encouraged to discuss this aspect of their care with their treatment team.
The following TDTs meet regularly.
TDT leaders should be contacted directly regarding multidisciplinary clinics, tumor boards, and monthly research focused meetings.
