1. Bring your records
Diagnosis and biopsy reports, scan reports and images, medicines, previous treatment summaries and insurance details. Confirm how to share records securely with the care team.

The specialist may advise further tests, such as a biopsy review, blood tests, CT, MRI or PET-CT, to confirm the cancer type and how far it has spread.

Discuss the diagnosis and stage, the treatment goal, alternatives, benefits, side effects and who will coordinate care. Complex cases can be discussed at a tumour board.
4. Plan the next step
Confirm your recommended treatment sequence, appointment dates, preparation, support needs, insurance approval and a written estimate before starting.
5. Treatment and support
Surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiation as planned, with regular reviews, side-effect management, nutrition advice and supportive care.
