Virtual Tumour Board
When Top Cancer Experts Across India Come Together – For You
At Onco-Life Cancer Centre, we believe that no patient should have to fight cancer alone — and no doctor should make decisions in isolation for complex cases. That’s why we’re proud to be among the select few cancer hospitals in India affiliated with TATA Memorial Hospital under the National Cancer Grid (NCG).
This allows us to present your case to some of the top cancer experts across the country, ensuring that your treatment plan benefits from multiple expert opinions — all without you ever needing to leave the hospital.
What is a Virtual Tumour Board?
A Virtual Tumour Board is a weekly meeting (held via video conference), where doctors from different specialties – like Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Pathology, and Radiology – come together to discuss difficult or rare cancer cases.
At ICTRC Onco-Life Cancer Centre, we:
- Present complicated or rare cancer cases for joint evaluation
- Get inputs from leading oncologists from across India
- Refine and improve treatment plans with nationwide expert insights
- Help patients access second or third opinions without extra cost or travel
Who Participates?
- Onco-Life’s in-house team of oncologists, surgeons, and specialists
- Doctors from TATA Memorial Hospital, Mumbai
- Experts from other renowned cancer hospitals in India
- Pathologists, radiologists, and even genetic counselors when required
