  2. Integrate novel systemic therapies, including immunotherapy and targeted agents, into neoadjuvant treatment plans while appropriately managing treatmentrelated and immunemediated toxicities.
  3. Use AJCC or other appropriate staging in clinical practice, including appropriate prognostic indicators and evidence based national guidelines for treatment planning.
  4. Collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary care team to coordinate neoadjuvant treatment delivery, optimize surgical timing, and ensure seamless transitions between phases of care.
