Expert Oncology Opinion Before You Travel

Making the decision to travel internationally for cancer treatment is significant — both medically and personally. Our remote consultation service lets you get an expert oncology assessment from our MDT specialists before committing to travel, so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

Our senior oncologists — specializing in medical oncology, surgical oncology, and radiation oncology across 7 cancer centers — will thoroughly review your medical records, pathology reports, imaging studies, and treatment history. You'll receive a clear, honest opinion about your diagnosis, treatment options, and whether Arion is the right choice for your specific cancer type and stage.

For complex cases, our Complex Case Committee — including UPMC-affiliated oncologists — may be convened to provide the most comprehensive expert evaluation available.
