Start with diagnosis and stage
International patients should share pathology reports, imaging, previous treatment summaries and recent blood tests. The reviewing oncologist may request pathology review or additional staging before finalising treatment.
Multidisciplinary care
Depending on the cancer, care may involve surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, radiology and organ-specific specialists.
Planning the stay
Some cancer treatments can be completed in a defined visit; others require repeated cycles or a longer treatment course. Travel planning should follow the clinical plan rather than the other way around.
