Patient diagnosed with tumors require surgical interventions varying from minor procedures such as biopsy to major surgeries treating challenging cases such as breast cancer with all types of oncoplastic reconstruction, GIT tumors, liver primary tumors, bilateral kidney tumors, lung metastatectomies and head and neck tumors.

These meetings are held once daily and attended by consultant from the departments of medical oncology, surgical oncology, Radio-diagnosis, clinical pathology and Radiotherapy.
