Treatment planning is key to Cancer care. We address this through the Tumour Board which is a panel of medical, surgical and radiation oncologists. The Board, in association with the diagnostic consultants examine the case together and agree on the best line of treatment for each patient. Others who join and support the panel include Medical counsellors, speech therapists, dieticians and other professionals.
