Abstract: We introduce a proof-of-concept extended reality (XR) environment for discussing cancer, presenting genomic information from multiple tumour sites in the context of 3D tumour models generated from CT scans. This tool enhances multidisciplinary discussions. Clinicians and cancer researchers explored its use in oncology, sharing perspectives on XR's potential for use in molecular tumour boards, clinician-patient communication, and education. XR serves as a universal language, fostering collaborative decision-making in oncology.
