At UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, our Interim Chief, Thoracic Surgery, Dr. Johannes Kratz, leads the Thoracic Surgery & Oncology Tumor Board. This program holds accreditation from the ACCME and aims to educate practicing physicians and nurses specializing in thoracic oncology, pulmonology, radiation oncology, pathology, and surgery. Its objective is to promote evidence-based best practices for the management of patients with lung malignancies.
