Champions' provides the cancer patient and treating physician with access to the world's top cancer experts. Champions will convene a panel of renowned experts, selected based on a patient's specific cancer type and condition, from each of the disciplines critical to the patient's case. In a round table forum, the expert panel debates the broad array of options and provides a consensus treatment recommendation to the patient's physician.
Through Champions' services, the cancer patient's treatment team can quickly avail itself of the opinions of the multidisciplinary panel's timely treatment recommendations, saving the cancer patient and the treating physician valuable time in the identification of personalized cancer treatment options.
Once selected, the panel meets in-person to review the patient's case, including a review of the patient's medical information and results of genetic testing. The panel then evaluates conventional and novel treatment approaches, advanced chemotherapeutic drugs, biologics and available clinical trials. A Champions expert chairs the Personalized Oncology Panel and guides its members to a consensus treatment recommendation. Implementation of the panel's treatment commendations are the responsibility of the patient's physician.
The panel reconvenes at a later date, by teleconference, to review the cancer patient's progress and other developments and, at that time, makes additional treatment recommendations that may be necessary.
What is a Personalized Oncology Panel?

This group meets in-person, and telephonically, to review the details of a patient’s case and makes consensus recommendations to the patient’s physician. The panel maximizes the options available to the cancer patient’s treating physician and helps improve the physician’s ability to evaluate the world’s most recent advancements and opinions to obtain the most successful treatment possible.
