Cancer treatment may involve medicines, surgery, radiation therapy or a carefully planned combination of approaches, and understanding which option should come first can be difficult for patients and families. Sterling Hospitals' Tumour Board Helpline brings together specialists from multiple disciplines to review a patient's case collectively and recommend the most appropriate treatment pathway.
What Is the Tumour Board Helpline?
Through the Tumour Board Helpline, a patient's case and medical reports can be reviewed collectively by specialists from medical, surgical and radiation oncology, supported by experts in nuclear medicine, radiology, pathology, diagnostics and critical care. Based on this multidisciplinary review, the team can guide patients towards the most appropriate treatment pathway and the next steps for their condition.
This kind of collective review is especially useful when a diagnosis is new, when more than one type of treatment is being considered, or when a patient or family wants a coordinated opinion before deciding on a treatment plan.
Who Can Use This Service?
- Open to cancer patients at any stage of diagnosis or treatment.
- Available free of cost across Gujarat.
- Useful for a first opinion, a second opinion, or when multiple treatment options need to be weighed together.
