In order for me to assess your case, I need to know as much as possible about you, your past medical history and the information you have been given so far by any other health care professional.

I would need the following items and documents for review prior to consultation:

• A referral letter from your GP, Oncologist or Surgeon
• Copies of all scans on disc (or uploaded via NHS PACS system in UK)
• All operation reports regarding your case
• All histopathology reports from biopsies and operations
• All reports on mutational analysis of tumour
• Copies of any previous oncology case files
• Details of any previous systemic treatment
• Details of any previous radiotherapy treatment

It is difficult to give an opinion on your case unless I have the above information. Also, for second opinions it is important that your oncologist knows that you are coming to see me.

If you are coming for an appointment, you may need to attend 30-60 min prior to the consultation to have blood tests or x-rays. You will be informed about this once your appointment is finalised.
