Physician referral and expert board portal

Greek Rare Tumor Board Portal

A secure referral pathway for physicians seeking expert multidisciplinary review of rare sarcoma and rare tumor cases.

Submit structured case referrals, support expert triage, and receive a documented advisory recommendation with relevant evidence and bibliography.

Referral Criteria

Who can refer

Referrals are intended for verified healthcare professionals involved in the management of rare cancer cases.

  • Medical oncologists
  • Surgical oncologists
  • Radiation oncologists
  • Pathologists / molecular diagnostics teams
  • Hospital or private oncology teams

Account approval by the coordination team is required before case submission.

Referral scope

Eligible cases should require rare tumor expertise before a diagnostic or therapeutic decision.

Eligible case type Typical referral intent Clarification
Confirmed or suspected sarcomas Diagnostic orientation, pathology review, treatment sequencing. Includes cases where subtype, grade, or optimal treatment sequence is uncertain.
Rare or ultra-rare solid tumors Expert input before major therapeutic decision. For tumors requiring specialist interpretation beyond routine local pathways.
Uncertain or complex diagnosis Pathology, imaging, and clinical-context review. Suitable when diagnostic confidence affects treatment planning.
Complex molecular findings Molecular testing / genomic interpretation guidance. Includes actionable variants, rare fusions, or unclear biomarker significance.
Treatment sequencing questions Surgery, radiotherapy, systemic therapy, or trial orientation. This portal is not intended for emergency care or direct patient self-referral.

What the expert board provides

The board issues an advisory recommendation supported by expert review and relevant bibliography.

  • Diagnostic and pathology review orientation
  • Molecular testing / genomic interpretation guidance
  • Treatment sequencing recommendation
  • Surgery, radiotherapy, or systemic therapy planning input
  • Clinical trial or research orientation where relevant
  • Bibliography / evidence references attached to the report

The recommendation is advisory. The referring clinician remains responsible for final patient management decisions.

How it works

Structured national workflow from referral submission to advisory report and follow-up request. Initially, board meetings may be scheduled approximately monthly, depending on case volume and urgency.

01Referrer submits structured case

Clinical data, diagnostic evidence, and the referral question are entered through the secure portal.

02Coordination team checks completeness

Required documentation and consent status are reviewed before triage.

03Fellow triage and bibliography

A fellow prepares case orientation and relevant evidence references.

04Experts mapped to the case

Disease-specific experts are identified based on diagnosis, molecular findings, and clinical question.

05Virtual tumor board discussion

The case is discussed in a scheduled multidisciplinary board session.

06Advisory report and follow-up

A documented recommendation is issued and follow-up information is requested.

Governance & Security

Designed for accountable clinical collaboration, institutional oversight, and secure handling of sensitive referral information.
