Oncology

Cancer includes many different diseases. Oncology services can be organised by tumour type and by medical, radiation or surgical treatment. The relevant team depends on the diagnosis and the question being reviewed.

Common consultation topics

• Second opinions
• Treatment records
• Multidisciplinary review

Records to discuss with the hospital

• Pathology reports and information about access to slides or tissue blocks
• Imaging files and reports, plus a treatment timeline

Questions before booking

• Which tumour-specific team can review my records?
• Is a remote record review available before discussing travel?

Check the exact campus, clinician, appointment language and follow-up arrangements directly with the hospital. These are planning questions; the provider should tell you which documents and assessments are needed for your own appointment.
