MDT board review helps refine treatment strategy: according to studies, patient management changes in about 10–30% of cases after multidisciplinary discussion, and a large meta-analysis linked this approach to longer survival — median overall survival was 30.2 vs 19.0 months, or approximately 59% higher

Frequently asked questions
Is this just a video consultation?
Is this just a video consultation?
No. The consultation is an important part, but the key element is the tumor board review: doctors of different specialties review your case together, so they can objectively assess different treatment approaches, weigh the risks and benefits of specific methods, and agree on a unified strategy that is most effective for you — maximizing benefit while minimizing strain on your body.
What documents are needed?
What documents are needed?
We will send you a personalized checklist. Usually, discharge summaries, test results, imaging reports/conclusions, and scans (if available), etc. are suitable. If something is missing, we'll tell you what is critical and what is not.
What if the documents are not sufficient?
What if the documents are not sufficient?
Then after the initial review, you will receive recommendations from the doctors on what exactly needs to be clarified, prepared, and why — so the decision is well-grounded. We will guide you on how to complete any additional tests in your country and help you gather everything you need.
Why is it important that the treatment strategy is determined by a doctors' tumor board, and not just by a single oncologist?
Why is it important that the treatment strategy is determined by a doctors' tumor board, and not just by a single oncologist?
Because in oncology, an ideal treatment plan cannot be created by one doctor "alone." A tumor board is when several specialists review the case together and make a joint decision. This allows them to agree on a plan: whether surgery is appropriate, what type of surgery, whether radiation therapy is needed, which drug therapy to choose, and in what sequence. It also reduces the risk of missing an important detail or ending up with "one-sided" recommendations. For you, this means clearer decision-making, a verified team approach, and clear next steps.
Can I show the report to my treating physician?
Can I show the report to my treating physician?
Yes. The documents are formatted so they can be conveniently used to discuss treatment strategy. If needed, we can arrange a doctor-to-doctor consultation between your treating physician and a doctor from the Loginov Moscow Clinical Scientific Center who participated in the tumor board.
Will there be an interpreter?
