Doctors And BTF
A dedicated multidisciplinary team comprising radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, neuroOncologists, neuropathologists, neuroradiologists and paediatric oncologists is on the BTF panel looking after all aspects of the neuroOncology practice. The NeuroOncology unit acts as the nodal point where all cases pertaining to NeuroOncology are registered, evaluated, treated and followed up as per the Unit's protocol. Patients are seen in the NeuroOncology / BTF clinics and an initial plan detailing the line of management is written down after evaluation with one of the Consultants. See the NeuroOncology Protocol Book for more information on these protocols.

Joint NeuroOncology Meetings (JNOM)
Patients with difficult diagnostic and management problems or interesting and unusual cases are discussed by a panel of doctors in the weekly JNOM's (held every Thursday afternoon at 3.30 pm). Clinical profiles, imaging information and pathology slides are discussed in detail and interesting cases are archived. If you want your case to be discussed in the JNOM, please send all the clinical details, scans and preferably slides and blocks and specify the issues you want to be discussed. Hospital charges may have to be paid only in cases where immunohistochemistry is required. To check out the schedule of upcoming cases and for conclusions reached on cases already discussed, Further patient care takes place under the NeuroOncology Team based in the Tata Memorial Hospital.
