Learn how eCureTrip's specialized team-based approach to cancer care delivers better outcomes through evidence-based, coordinated treatment
When you approach eCureTrip for cancer treatment, you aren't just seeing one doctor; you are being cared for by a specialized team. At eCureTrip, we follow the Disease Management Group (DMG) model, inspired by Tata Memorial Hospital, one of India's premier cancer care institutions.
Traditionally, cancer was treated by "general" specialists who handled multiple cancer types. In the DMG model, we group our experts based on the specific part of the body affected. This means if you have a digestive issue, you aren't just seeing an oncologist; you are seeing a team that predominantly treats digestive cancers every single day, with deep expertise in surgical, medical, and radiation oncology specific to your condition.
This specialized approach ensures that every member of your care team has deep, focused expertise in your specific type of cancer, leading to more precise diagnoses, better treatment planning, and improved outcomes. Research from leading cancer centers worldwide demonstrates that this model significantly improves survival rates and quality of life.
Your care team focuses exclusively on your specific cancer type, ensuring deep knowledge and experience. Each specialist has treated hundreds, if not thousands, of cases similar to yours, staying current with the latest research and treatment protocols.
Multiple specialists work together as a unified team, not as separate consultations. Your surgical oncologist, medical oncologist, and radiation oncologist collaborate from day one, ensuring seamless treatment planning and execution.
Research from leading cancer centers shows that specialized, team-based care leads to improved treatment results and patient satisfaction. Studies demonstrate higher survival rates, reduced complications, and better quality of life.
When you connect with eCureTrip, our team first conducts a comprehensive assessment, including review of your medical history, imaging studies, and pathology reports. This determines which DMG will manage your care based on the specific anatomical location and type of cancer.
You are assigned to a specialized DMG team. For example, if you have lung cancer, you'll be under the Thoracic DMG, which includes surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists who specialize exclusively in lung and chest cancers. Each team member brings years of focused experience in your specific cancer type.
Your DMG team meets in a Virtual Tumor Board session. Our experts collaborate remotely to discuss your case, review imaging and pathology, and develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored specifically to your condition. This multidisciplinary approach ensures all treatment options are considered, from surgery and chemotherapy to radiation therapy and targeted treatments. You can access this expertise from the comfort of your home.
Throughout your treatment journey, the same DMG team monitors your progress, adjusts treatment as needed, and ensures continuity of care. You have a dedicated team that knows your case inside and out, providing personalized attention and support from diagnosis through treatment and long-term follow-up care.
eCureTrip organizes our oncology specialists into the following Disease Management Groups, each with dedicated expertise:
Specialized teams can make faster, more confident decisions based on extensive experience, reducing the time between diagnosis and treatment initiation. This speed can be critical in cancer care.
Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific cancer type, stage, genetic markers, and individual health factors. No two patients receive identical treatment - your plan is uniquely yours.
The same team follows you throughout your journey, from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up care. This continuity builds trust and ensures comprehensive understanding of your case.
Specialized teams stay current with the latest research, clinical trials, and treatment protocols specific to their area of expertise, ensuring you receive cutting-edge care.
With all specialists in one team, appointments, tests, and treatments are coordinated seamlessly, reducing wait times and ensuring smooth transitions between different phases of care.
DMG teams follow standardized, evidence-based treatment protocols aligned with international guidelines (NCCN, ESMO) while adapting them to individual patient needs.
The DMG model is supported by extensive research from leading cancer centers worldwide. Studies published in journals like Journal of Clinical Oncology and The Lancet Oncology demonstrate that specialized, team-based care leads to:
The DMG model at eCureTrip is inspired by Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, one of India's most respected cancer care institutions and a global leader in oncology. Tata Memorial has been a pioneer in implementing the DMG approach since the 1990s, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving patient outcomes and setting the standard for cancer care in India.
By adopting this proven model, eCureTrip brings world-class, specialized cancer care to patients, ensuring that you receive the same level of expertise and coordinated care that has made Tata Memorial a leader in oncology. Our platform connects you with DMG teams that follow similar principles of specialization, collaboration, and patient-centered care.
