Study Summary

In weekly expert meetings for oncological diagnostics and therapy, known as tumor boards, individual therapy recommendations are developed for cancer patients. By further developing and optimizing the CCCs' video tumor boards, initially using skin cancer as an example, we want to ensure that more patients can benefit from the expertise of several specialist disciplines and innovations - regardless of where they live.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The study includes adult, external patients who, according to the certificationrequirements of the German Cancer Society, should be presented to the CCCs in atumor board .

Inclusion criteria for patients:

  • Minimum age 18 years

  • Consent to participate in the study (signing of patient consent) should be presentedin vTB+ according to the doctor, based on the disease/diagnosis, especially in thecase of:

  • Malignant melanoma from stage IIB

  • Malignant melanoma and stage shift/recurrence o Extracutaneous melanoma oCutaneous lymphoma from stage Ib o Problem cases with malignant, epithelialtumors (BCC, SCC) with interdisciplinary issues, e.g. complicated localization,extension/ infiltration (e.g. Ulcus rodens, Ulcus terebrans), metastasizedtumors, immunosuppressed patients o all rare malignant skin tumors (includingMerkel cell carcinoma, DFSP, MFH, leiomyosarcoma, S., Kaposi's sarcoma,angiosarcoma), regardless of stage o severe side effects from drug-based tumortherapy • is an external patient: An external patient is someone who receivestumor therapy exclusively or in co-treatment in the branch or in an externalclinic (in distinction to patients without prior treatment for initialpresentation at the CCC) . This also applies to patients who are only seen onceat the vTB.

In this case, revenue/cost aspects and the DKG requirement are ignored. This means that so-called external patients can also be treated at the center, including initiation of therapy. The decisive factor is the presentation of the external patient (personal presentation of the external patients is not mandatory) and that external co-treaters are consistently informed and involved.

Inclusion criteria for external doctors:

  • has a medical license

  • has dermatological patients who are eligible to be presented in the vTB+
