GO A LITTLE DEEPER

Start with the questions that matter.

Six guides connecting diagnosis, options, and recovery.

  1. Breast cancerConnect receptors, surgical choices, and recovery.
  2. Lung cancerRead histology, biomarkers, and care goals together.
  3. Primary liver cancerTwo key dimensions: tumour extent and liver reserve.
  4. Pancreatic cancerUnderstand tumour type, resectability, and recovery.
  5. Colorectal cancerColon and rectum are close, but their care discussions can differ.
  6. Cervical cancerDistinguish screening, tissue diagnosis, and treatment goals.

Watch first. Understand more easily.

Radiation, ablation, surgery: what differs?

Read the video transcript
  1. Radiation targets a planned area. CyberKnife uses X-rays. It is not surgery with a blade.
  2. Ablation acts on a local target. RFA uses heat from radiofrequency energy. Risks and target location need assessment.
  3. Surgery describes a procedure. Procedure, access approach, and recovery are three different questions.
  4. Start with the care goal. Discuss options and combinations with a doctor, based on diagnosis and patient condition.

Robotic or laparoscopic: understand the distinction

Read the video transcript
  1. Procedure: what is done? Whipple, colectomy, and mastectomy describe procedures on different organs.
  2. Approach: how is it accessed? Open, laparoscopic, or robotic describes how a surgeon reaches the operating area.
  3. A surgeon controls the robot. A robot is not an autonomous surgeon. Approach depends on the case and surgical team.
  4. Ask about recovery. Small incisions do not mean no risk. Ask about complications, organ function, and follow-up.

One diagnosis, several care specialties

Read the video transcript
  1. Understand the disease type first. An organ name is not enough. Pathology, stage, and general condition give context.
  2. Each specialty has a role. Medical, radiation, and surgical oncology may work together according to the case.
  3. An MDT brings perspectives together. A multidisciplinary team discusses findings and options. Team composition depends on the case.
  4. Bring clear questions. BKC supports coordination. Diagnosis and medical decisions remain with licensed clinicians.

Different names. Understand how they work.

Compare principles, assessment, and evidence limits. A reading tool, not a way to select your treatment.

Concept comparison, without rankings or recommendations.
AspectRadiofrequency ablation / RFAMicrowave ablation / MWA
How it worksRFA uses radiofrequency energy through an electrode to heat target tissue. It differs from radiotherapy, which uses ionising radiation.MWA uses an antenna delivering microwave energy to heat target tissue. RFA and MWA are thermal ablation methods with different energy sources.
What is assessedLesion size and position, nearby vessels, access, and organ safety determine planning. Some locations or shapes limit local treatment.Assessment considers lesion number, size, location, vessels or ducts, and organ function. A newer name does not determine technique choice.
Risks & limitsRisks include pain, bleeding, infection, and thermal injury near the target. Local ablation does not automatically treat spread elsewhere.Thermal injury, bleeding, infection, and incomplete ablation can occur. Nearby bowel or sensitive structures may alter the plan or technique.
