Simply share your pathology report, PET-CT/MR imaging and current treatment plan via WhatsApp. A multidisciplinary tumor board of an oncologist, radiologist and relevant surgeon reviews the case within 3-5 business days and provides diagnosis confirmation, a recommended treatment protocol and an estimated cost report. The entire process is completely free and comes with no obligation. You can also share the report with your own doctor.
