Gujarat’s first Tumour Board Helpline

When you’re dealing with cancer, one of the hardest parts isn’t just the diagnosis; it’s figuring out what to do next. Should you opt for surgery? Is chemotherapy the right step? Do you need radiation? And what if different doctors suggest different things?

At Sterling Hospitals, you now have a simpler way to approach this.

With Gujarat’s first Tumour Board Helpline Number 6357 105 105, you can connect to a panel of cancer specialists through a single message. Your case is reviewed collectively by experts across oncology disciplines, who then suggest the most appropriate line of treatment for you.

What is a Tumour Board?

A Tumour Board is a panel of cancer specialists who collectively review your case and recommend the most effective treatment plan. This includes experts across medical, surgical, and radiation oncology, supported by nuclear medicine, pathology, radiology, and internal medicine/critical care, ensuring a truly comprehensive evaluation. Instead of relying on a single opinion, you benefit from the combined expertise of multiple doctors who evaluate your reports together and arrive at a well-considered recommendation.

Which specialists review your case?

Your case is evaluated by a comprehensive, multidisciplinary team of specialists. This includes medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, and radiation oncologists, along with experts from nuclear medicine, radiology, histopathology, and internal medicine/critical care.

These specialists work together to review your reports in detail, combining clinical expertise, diagnostic insights, and patient condition management to ensure that every aspect of your case is carefully considered before suggesting the most appropriate line of treatment.

Why is a Tumour Board important for cancer treatment?

Cancer treatment often involves multiple approaches such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Our Tumour Board ensures that your case is reviewed from all relevant perspectives, so the most appropriate line of treatment is chosen at the right time. This collective evaluation helps ensure that no critical detail is overlooked and that all possible treatment options are considered before a decision is made.
