Who we are — in plain terms

    Art of Healing Cancer is an independent organisation based in India — not a UK provider. We help you understand your glioblastoma options and offer second opinions and guidance. Treatment, where you choose to explore it, takes place at our centre in India. We're not a substitute for your own medical care, so please keep consulting your own oncology team.

    Who this is for

    Wherever you are in the journey, an honest second perspective can help.

    Recently diagnosed

    You or a loved one have just had a glioblastoma diagnosis and want an independent second opinion before deciding next steps.

    Recurrent or progressing GBM

    Standard NHS options feel limited and you want to understand what else may be realistic — including trials.

    Exploring clinical trials

    You want help finding and understanding glioblastoma trials and whether you might qualify.

    Considering options abroad

    You're weighing treatment options outside the NHS and want honest information before committing to anything.

    How we help

    Understand your options

    Plain-language explanations of where standard care, trials and other approaches fit — and the evidence behind each.

    An independent second opinion

    A considered perspective on your situation that you can take back to your own oncology team.

    Organise questions for your oncologist

    We help you prepare the right questions so your oncology appointments are as productive as possible.

    Navigate trials & treatment abroad

    If you choose to explore options beyond the NHS, we explain what's involved — clearly and without pressure.

    A second perspective — never a replacement for your own doctors

    We're an independent organisation, not your treating provider. Our role is to add clarity — a second perspective, honest information, and help making sense of the options. Your own oncology team leads your care, and anything you learn from us is meant to be discussed with them.

    Honest about the evidence

    We separate established care from emerging approaches — clearly, so you can decide with your team.

    Standard of care

    Maximal safe surgery, radiotherapy and temozolomide chemotherapy (the Stupp protocol), with supportive care. This is the evidence-based foundation and should come from your own NHS oncology team.

    Beyond standard care

    Some families explore clinical trials or integrative approaches. The evidence for many of these is limited or emerging, and they are not a substitute for standard treatment. We label the evidence honestly and encourage you to discuss any option with your oncologist.

    See the research behind our work on our evidence page and our approach.

    Transparent about cost

    The navigator conversation is free. If you choose to explore a formal consultation or treatment in India, we provide clear cost estimates in advance — in GBP where helpful — along with what to expect on travel and timelines. No surprises, and no pressure to proceed.

    Frequently asked questions

    Are you part of the NHS?+

    No. Art of Healing Cancer is an independent, India-based organisation. We are not affiliated with the NHS and we do not replace your NHS care. We provide information, second opinions and guidance to support the decisions you make with your treating team.

    Is the navigator call really free?+

    Yes. The initial navigator conversation is free and carries no obligation. We will never pressure you toward any particular decision.

    Will this replace my oncologist?+

    No — and it shouldn't. We are independent and do not replace your oncology team. Please continue your own treatment and discuss anything you learn here with your own doctors.

    Where would any treatment take place?+

    Art of Healing Cancer's centre is in India. Many families use us purely for information or a second opinion. For those who choose to explore treatment with us, it takes place in India, and we are transparent about what that involves.

    Can you cure glioblastoma?+

    No one can honestly promise a cure for glioblastoma — it is an aggressive cancer. We focus on helping you understand realistic options, the evidence behind them, and the questions to ask. We do not make promises about outcomes.

    How much does it cost?+

    The navigator conversation is free. Any formal consultation or treatment is quoted transparently and in advance, in GBP where helpful, so you always know the figures before you commit to anything.

    What happens to my information?+

    We use your details only to respond to your enquiry, and we handle them in line with our privacy policy and applicable data-protection law.
