When Should You Book an Oncology Video Consultation?
A virtual video consultation gives you dedicated, unhurried time with an independent cancer specialist to evaluate your care trajectory.
Discussing a New Diagnosis
You received a biopsy confirmation and need an unhurried, independent oncologist to explain staging, pathology reports, and initial systemic treatment options.
Evaluating Treatment Alternatives
Your local team recommended chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or surgery, and you want to verify if targeted therapies, SBRT, or clinical trials are viable alternatives.
Managing Side Effects & Toxicities
Struggling with neuropathy, nausea, fatigue, or immunotherapy-related adverse events (irAEs) and need specialized supportive oncology guidance.
Post-Surgery & Adjuvant Decisions
Reviewing pathology margin status, lymph node involvement, and genomic recurrence scores (e.g. Oncotype DX) to decide whether adjuvant chemotherapy is necessary.
Surveillance & Recurrence Concerns
Elevated tumor markers (PSA, CEA, CA-125) or ambiguous scan findings during follow-up requiring specialist interpretation before invasive procedures.
Deciding Whether to Travel for Care
Determine whether your specific cancer biology requires travel to a major NCI comprehensive cancer center or if standard-of-care can be safely administered locally.
Clinical Scope: What Can & Cannot Be Done Via Telehealth
Clinical safety and transparency are our highest priorities. Here is how oncology telemedicine fits into your broader care continuum:
| Clinical Domain | Telehealth Scope | Clinical Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Comprehensive Record & Pathology Review | Full Evaluation | Complete audit of surgical pathology, IHC stains, flow cytometry, and genomic sequencing reports (FoundationOne, Guardant, Tempus). |
| Radiology & Imaging Cross-Check | Full Evaluation | Discussion of CT, MRI, and PET-CT scan findings, response assessment (RECIST criteria), and staging confirmation. |
| Treatment Protocol Verification | Full Evaluation | Review of first-line, second-line, and maintenance regimens against current NCCN, ASCO, and ESMO clinical guidelines. |
| Clinical Trial Identification | Full Evaluation | Identification of phase II/III trials matching specific somatic genomic mutations (EGFR, ALK, KRAS, BRCA, etc.). |
| Physical Palpation & Direct Exam | In-Person Required | Superficial lymph node palpation, breast mass measurement, or pelvic exams require local physical examination. |
| Acute Oncologic Emergencies | ER / Inpatient Required | Suspected spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, or neutropenic fever (>100.4°F) require immediate emergency room care. |
Transparent, Flat-Fee Pricing
