Prof Vijay Patil runs one of the most prominent tumor boards of the country- “National molecular tumor board”. The board meets every Thursday at 7:30 PM. The focus is on complex molecular mutations in cancers and how it can be treated. The molecular board has presence of

• 1. Eminent scientist from Foundation-1; US based laboratory
• 2. Eminent scientist from Guardant; Singapore based laboratory
• 3. Eminent scientist from 4Base; India based laboratory
• 4. Eminent scientist from One cell; India based laboratory
• 5. Eminent scientist from Oncodynamix; India based laboratory
• 6. Eminent scientist from Oncodynamix; India based laboratory

Multiple cases are discussed in the forum. The mutation and clinical situation is studied. The impact of each mutation on the disease biology and which drug might have an impact is discussed. Thus this enables rare and difficult cancers to be treated.
