What does the Cancer Liaison Physician report to the cancer committee?
A. The Cancer Liaison Physician should give the cancer committee regular updates on Commission on Cancer activities. These topics of discussion can be pulled from recently attended CoC meetings or meeting minutes (i.e. Clinical Congress), Cancer Liaison Physician updates (sent out quarterly), CoC Flash newsletters (sent monthly), miscellaneous communications sent from the CoC by e-mail or postal mail, and communications received from the State Chair. The Cancer Liaison Physician should also share collaborative activities with the American Cancer Society, or other local cancer agencies. Reports should be given on the progress, results, and success of cancer programs as well as new initiatives the facility is pursuing in relation to cancer care in the community.
