ONCOLOGY COE
Cancer surgery should be considered when resection may support diagnosis, disease control or patient function. A surgeon and multidisciplinary team must review pathology, stage, imaging, prior treatment, comorbidities, surgical intent and the post-operative plan before recommending open, minimally invasive, robotic or non-surgical approaches.
A good surgical question is not only “can it be operated on?” It also covers surgical intent, resection boundaries, function to preserve, open versus minimally invasive access, and the plan after surgery.
This pathway connects gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary-pancreatic, urologic, gynaecologic, head-and-neck and related surgery with medical oncology, radiology, pathology, anaesthesia and rehabilitation.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Surgery may be considered for potentially resectable cancer, after selected initial treatment, for selected recurrences, or when a family needs a second opinion after being told surgery is difficult. A formal decision requires surgical review and, where relevant, multidisciplinary discussion.
The doctor reviews pathology, disease location and stage, imaging, the tumour relationship to critical organs, prior treatment, patient fitness, comorbidities, surgical intent, function to preserve, and treatment needed before or after surgery.
No. Its value depends on the procedure, tumour location, team experience, patient condition, and comparison with open surgery or non-surgical strategies. The doctor determines the approach after reviewing the complete case.

RELEVANT ADVANTAGES
It can be discussed for selected urologic, colorectal, gastrointestinal and other procedures; the surgeon determines its value versus other approaches.
Imaging, pathology, comorbidities and neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment are considered before fixing a surgical route.
Questions cover possible stoma, nutrition, pain, mobility, rehabilitation and caregiver needs after discharge.
If surgery is not the first step, families leave with clearer questions for medical, radiation or interventional oncology.
DOCTORS & TEAMS
The reviewing doctor, schedule and hospital are formally confirmed after initial records are reviewed.

PROGRAMS & TECHNOLOGY
A CASE LENS
A family brings colonoscopy or endoscopy, pathology, CT or MRI, previous operative notes and chemotherapy history. The team assesses whether the question concerns primary surgery, surgery after initial treatment, re-operation, a robotic approach or a non-surgical strategy. A formal answer follows surgical and MDT review.
An example decision pathway, not a procedure recommendation.
