Complex cancer care with surgery at the centre of a coordinated pathway.
Assessment focuses on diagnosis, disease extent, resectability, functional impact and the need for multidisciplinary treatment. Surgical planning is individualised to the primary site, stage, prior treatment and reconstruction needs.
Situations where specialist escalation adds value.
For biopsy review, staging and treatment planning.
For revision surgery, salvage options or multidisciplinary reassessment.
Where speech, swallowing, airway or reconstruction planning is important.
When anatomy, recurrence or prior surgery increases operative complexity.
Bring the complete cancer record.
Pathology, contrast imaging, PET/CT when available, operative notes, prior radiation details, treatment summaries and current medications help avoid unnecessary repetition and speed up decision-making.
Diagnosis → staging → multidisciplinary decision → treatment → rehabilitation.
Confirm diagnosis
Clinical examination, endoscopy and pathology review.
Stage disease
Imaging and assessment of local, nodal and distant disease.
Plan treatment
Surgery, radiotherapy, systemic therapy or combined treatment as appropriate.
Preserve function
Airway, swallowing, speech and reconstruction planning where relevant.
Surveillance
Structured follow-up and rehabilitation after treatment.
Oncology & reconstruction: from care pathway to learning trail.
Clinical pathway → operative experience → learning. Verified cases can connect back to this clinical domain without turning the patient-facing pathway into a case gallery.
