Background

Germline testing is important in prostate cancer and evaluation can be complex.

Methods

We instituted a monthly multi-disciplinary virtual genetics tumor board (7/2021-3/2022). Participants and panelists were surveyed on usefulness and acceptability.

Results

101 participants attended a session, and 77 follow-up surveys were completed. Over 90% participants and 100% panelists endorsed usefulness of the case discussions and usability of the technology. The majority felt it provided new information they will use.

Conclusions

A multidisciplinary genetics board was successfully developed to address complexity in prostate cancer genetics. The virtual platform may enhance dissemination of expertise where there are regional gaps.

通过开发和测试虚拟遗传学委员会，解决医疗保健提供者在前列腺癌种系检测方面的知识差距

背景

种系检测对于前列腺癌很重要，并且评估可能很复杂。

方法

我们建立了每月一次的多​​学科虚拟遗传学肿瘤委员会（7/2021-3/2022）。对参与者和小组成员的有用性和可接受性进行了调查。

结果

101 名参与者参加了一次会议，并完成了 77 项后续调查。超过 90% 的参与者和 100% 的小组成员认可案例讨论的有用性和技术的可用性。大多数人认为它提供了他们将使用的新信息。

结论

成功建立了一个多学科遗传学委员会来解决前列腺癌遗传学的复杂性。虚拟平台可以加强存在区域差距的专业知识的传播。
