STM publisher Elsevier recently announced the launch of the first virtual Center of Excellence focused on a single disease, renal cell carcinoma. The knowledge-sharing site for physicians was created by PracticeUpdate, Elsevier's physician portal, in partnership with The West Cancer Center at the University of Tennessee. The Renal Cell Carcinoma Center of Excellence allows community physicians to exchange information and case specifics with The West Cancer Center's renowned oncologists.
The Center of Excellence allows each physician using the site to work alongside faculty and staff of The West Cancer Center, regardless of location. The experts at the Center of Excellence meet weekly to identify and provide context to the most important developments in renal cell carcinoma from more than 120 journals.
Registered PracticeUpdate physician members have access to research materials, lectures, pathology images, weekly reviews of new research and current guidelines, as well as internationally renowned experts who can provide clarification and insights on case-specific situations.
