During the appointment, Dr. Govind can review your medical history, investigation reports and previous treatment details.
Depending on the diagnosis, GI oncology consultations can involve cancers affecting the esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts or pancreas.
The consultation is focused on understanding your individual condition. It can also help clarify whether surgical assessment is required and whether additional specialist care should be considered.
To make the consultation more useful, bring your available medical records.
These may include:
If you have already undergone surgery, chemotherapy or another cancer treatment, bring those records as well. This gives the surgeon a clearer view of your previous care.
