Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? Our support team is here to guide you through each step of your treatment journey with personal care and attention.Can I send my reports and scans to Aster CMI before travelling to India?
Yes. You can share your diagnosis, scan reports, biopsy results, or any previous treatment records with the international patient team before committing to travel. Senior oncologists at Aster CMI will review your case, provide a clinical opinion, and issue a recommended treatment plan with a cost estimate. This means you arrive in Bangalore knowing exactly what your treatment involves, how long you need to stay, and what it will cost.
Does every cancer patient at Aster CMI get reviewed by a specialist team, or just one doctor?
Every cancer case at Aster CMI is presented to a joint multidisciplinary tumour board before treatment begins.
This board brings together surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, and relevant subspecialists depending on cancer type, all of whom review the diagnosis and collectively agree on the optimal treatment plan.
For international patients, this means your case benefits from multiple senior opinions before a single treatment decision is made — the same standard applied to every patient regardless of where they are from.
