The Modern Multidisciplinary Tumour Board
Pisa/IT, June 29-30, 2026
Multidisciplinary tumour boards (MDTBs) are essential for collaborative decision-making, bringing specialists together to determine the best treatment strategies. As interventional radiologists (IRs) take on an increasingly active role in these discussions, their ability to present scientific evidence on local-regional therapies and advocate for their inclusion in treatment options is becoming more critical. While IRs excel in technical expertise, many have limited formal training in communication and leadership within the MDTB setting.
This specialized course, hosted by ESIR and IASIOS, offers a unique combination of scientific updates and hands-on communication training, equipping IRs with both the latest evidence on local-regional therapies and the skills to engage confidently in MDTB discussions. The programme is structured over two focused days.
On the first day, participants will engage in interactive exercises on conflict resolution, stakeholder analysis, and team dynamics, designed to reinforce essential soft skills through real-world scenarios. The day will conclude with a debrief session, ensuring that participants leave with concrete strategies to enhance their engagement and leadership within MDTBs.
On the following day, the focus will shift to the latest clinical evidence on primary liver, kidney, and colorectal liver cancers. Case-based discussions with multidisciplinary experts will provide valuable insights into how IR treatments are evaluated within MDTBs.
This course provides a unique opportunity to refine both clinical and communication expertise, enabling IRs to take a more active role in MDTB discussions and contribute to better patient outcomes.
