When someone is diagnosed with cancer, one of the hardest questions is: “Am I on the right treatment path?”
Modern cancer care is complex. Treatment decisions often depend on tumor type, genetic reports, staging, and multiple specialty inputs. Every oncologist brings valuable expertise but when multiple specialists review a case together, it creates a more complete and well-rounded understanding of your treatment options.
At SECMEDS, we bridge this gap through our Tumor Board Review, a collective expert evaluation that ensures that treatment plan is accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
What Is a Tumor Board Review?
A Tumor Board is a panel of expert oncologists and specialists who review a patient’s case together. Each expert brings a unique perspective from medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiology, pathology, and radiation oncology.
SECMEDS Tumor Board functions as an online expert panel, providing Second Opinions to patients across India and abroad. Every report is studied independently, then discussed collectively, to give a 360° cancer review, one that does not leave any angle unchecked.
Why a Tumor Board Review Matters
Cancer treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Even two patients with the same cancer type can need entirely different treatment approaches. When life-changing decisions depend on a diagnosis, it deserves more than one voice.
A Tumor Board helps ensure that patient’s treatment plan is based on the latest evidence and and consensus of a team of Experts and not just a single viewpoint.
Here’s what SECMEDS Tumor Board evaluates:
Diagnosis Accuracy: Is the cancer type and stage confirmed through reports and pathology?
Treatment Suitability: Are surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy correctly recommended? Will newer therapies such as CAR T cell therapy, Radioligand therapy or other Targeted therapies be suitable for a particular patient?
Sequence of Care: Is the treatment plan in the right order and timeframe?
Alternative Approaches: Are there newer or more effective treatment options available globally?
Clinical Trial Relevance: Can the patient benefit from advanced or targeted therapies under trial?
Each question ensures nothing is missed and that every patient receives truly personalized guidance.
