How can we help?
Choose the situation that fits best. Each route leads to plain-language information and the next practical step.
Why Precision Oncology?
Cancer is not one disease. Neither should its treatment be.
Two patients with the same cancer diagnosis may have very different tumour biology. Precision Oncology looks beyond the name of the cancer to understand molecular characteristics that may influence prognosis and treatment.

Why Dr AV?
A different way of looking at cancer.
Understand the Biology
Cancer is biologically different from patient to patient.
Interpret the Molecular Data
Genomic information requires expert clinical interpretation.
Personalize the Strategy
Bring relevant clinical and molecular information together when making treatment decisions.
Science to care
From molecular data to clinical decisions.
Every layer of information adds context. Interpretation is what turns it into a plan.
Patient — The person, not only the diagnosis.
What Dr AV does
Six major pathways, one integrated approach.
From molecular diagnostics to treatment delivery, advanced therapies and care at home. Each pathway answers a clinical question, and they work best together.
Molecular Oncology & Testing
Genomic and molecular evaluation — including comprehensive genomic profiling — to identify potentially actionable alterations and biomarkers.
Explore Molecular TestingCAR-T Cell Therapy
Advanced cellular immunotherapy assessment, treatment coordination and specialist monitoring for appropriately selected patients with eligible hematologic malignancies.
Explore CAR-T Cell TherapyOncology Day Care
Safe, comfortable, and efficient administration of cancer treatments in a dedicated day care environment.

Personalized Medicine Across the Health Journey
Two clinically distinct programs, connected through prevention, risk, diagnostics and survivorship.
Precision Oncology
Understanding the biology of cancer to personalize care.
When cancer is diagnosed, understanding tumour biology may help personalize treatment.
Explore Precision OncologyPrecision Longevity Program
by Dr AV Institute
Understanding individual health risks to personalize prevention and healthy ageing.
Before disease develops, understanding individual risk factors may help guide prevention, screening and healthy ageing.
Explore Precision LongevityFlagship service
A molecularly informed approach to cancer care.
Molecular information is only useful when it is read in clinical context. Precision Oncology at Dr AV Institute is the discipline of doing exactly that.

Molecular testing
Look beyond the diagnosis.
Tissue genomic testing, comprehensive genomic profiling, germline testing, biomarker testing and molecular pathology — selected according to the clinical question.
Explore molecular testingLiquid biopsy
A blood sample can provide molecular clues.
Blood-based testing, including circulating tumour DNA where clinically appropriate. It complements tissue biopsy and does not replace it in every situation.
Understand liquid biopsyResearch & innovation
Advancing Precision Oncology through research.
Translational work in tumour genomics, biomarkers, liquid biopsy and molecular monitoring, alongside careful evaluation of emerging therapies.
Second opinion
A second perspective can help clarify complex decisions.
Pathology, imaging reports, molecular reports, treatment details and clinical history can be reviewed before a structured discussion.

Patient Experiences
Care that patients describe in their own words.
Experiences shared publicly by patients and families who have interacted with the institute for consultation, precision oncology and second opinions.
My heartiest thanks to Dr Amit Verma and his team. I was at his clinic with a lot of anxiety and stress related to testing and the follow-ups, and when I left, I felt like I was going on with peace and some regular follow-up every year, to begin with. He and his team will always be in my prayers and wishes.
Sanjana Shukla
Genetic Counselling
I visited the institute for a precautionary consultation because of my family history. I really appreciate the system flow and the time that Dr Verma devoted to making me understand the importance of getting a screening test done. It was really a great experience at the institute.
Ananya Joseph
Genetic Counselling
Excellent experience at the institute. They are experts at giving personalised advice for each patient. Dr Amit gave very genuine advice for my father. I want to share my deepest gratitude to Dr Amit and his team.

Research
Tumour Genomics
Characterising the genomic landscape of tumours to better understand behaviour and treatment context.
Biomarker Discovery
Identifying and evaluating markers that may inform prognosis or treatment selection.
Liquid Biopsy
Blood-based molecular analysis, including circulating tumour DNA methodology and application.
Our philosophy
Science first. Patient always.
Evidence
Treatment decisions should be grounded in the best available clinical and scientific evidence.
Individual Biology
Molecular information may provide additional insight into the biology of an individual cancer.
Human Judgement
Technology and AI support clinicians; they do not replace clinical judgement.
