We intend to turn a page in cancer management by introducing Precision Oncology across Apollo Hospitals. With the evolution of molecular diagnostics and genetics, it’s time to leverage technology to enable precision diagnosis and commensurate treatment giving the patient the best chance to fight cancer. This in turn shall enable us to realize our long standing vision of delivering better clinical outcomes from bench to bedside. This alliance is further validation of Apollo Hospital’s commitment to research driven health care.”
