Molecular Testing: How Can Oncologists Work Better With Pathologists?

Video

Dr. Aisner discusses some of the key ways oncologists can work better with pathologists at their institutions.

Dara Aisner, MD, PhD, assistant professor at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, discusses some of the key things oncologists can do to work better with pathologists at their institutions.

Dr. Aisner also talks about some of the common points of miscommunication between oncologists and pathologists, and some instances in which oncologists might want second opinions on certain pathology tests results.
