Patient Referrals

Our Nationally Recognized Team for Cancer Care 

Siteman Cancer Center is a NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center and a national referral destination for advanced, complex cancer care. WashU Medicine physicians at Siteman are subspecialized by disease and supported by multidisciplinary teams, enabling: 

• Precise diagnosis 
• Rapid treatment planning 
• Access to clinical trials  
• Access to advanced therapies 

The Referral Process 

With expert knowledge across cancer types, the care coordinator serves as a single point of contact from referral through consultation.  

From the time you submit your referral, care coordinators will initiate the review your patients’ records. They route documentation to the right WashU physicians and experts. This is the first step in our multidisciplinary approach to patient care.  

Physicians evaluate: 

• Office notes 
• Previous treatment records (especially for trial options) 
• Pathology slides 
• Outside imaging  

Once our team has had a chance to thoroughly review your patients’ documents, a member of the scheduling team will contact the patient to set up an appointment and begin treatment.  

This detailed process makes all the difference. Our experts dedicate time to ensure that your patient’s first appointment and treatment plan is tailored just to them.  

If you’d like to hear about the care your patient is receiving, please reach out to our care coordinators for updates on their treatment.
