Patient Management:
Conduct thorough pre-operative evaluations including detailed histories, physical exams, and review of diagnostic imaging and tests.
Manage post-operative care, focusing on complication management, recovery optimization, and patient education regarding cancer treatment and prevention.
Collaborate closely with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, gastroenterologists, and other specialists to ensure coordinated multidisciplinary care.
Collaboration and Communication:
Serve as an integral member of a multidisciplinary team including oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and nursing staff to deliver cohesive patient care.
