03How care is planned
From reports
to follow-up.
Six steps, in order. At each one you know what is happening, why, and what comes next.
Your first visitDiagnosis
Confirm what it is, and how far it has gone.
Where needed, a biopsy and scans are advised so that the plan is based on test results. Tests already done are not repeated without reason.
- Biopsy
- Scans
- Staging
Planning
One plan, made with other specialists.
Cancer care often needs more than one specialist. Where your case needs it, pathology, radiology, medical oncology and radiotherapy colleagues are involved in the plan.
- Multidisciplinary discussion
- Options compared
- Plan agreed
Counselling
Explained in plain words, before any decision.
The plan, its benefits and its risks are explained to you and your family. You can ask as many questions as you need before you decide.
- Options
- Risks
- Your consent
Surgery
Careful surgery, open or keyhole as suitable.
When surgery is the right step, it is planned carefully. Laparoscopic, minimally invasive or robotic methods are used where they suit the cancer and the patient.
- Pre-operative tests
- Operation
- Hospital recovery
Follow-up
Staying with you after the operation.
The final biopsy report guides any further treatment. Regular follow-up visits continue after you go home.
- Final report
- Further treatment if needed
- Regular review
Where suitable
Keyhole and minimally invasive cancer surgery
What laparoscopic (keyhole) cancer surgery is, when it may be suitable, and when open surgery is the safer choice.

- 02
Careful surgical planning
Every operation is planned before it begins: what needs to be removed, how, and how to keep recovery as smooth as possible.
- 03
Multidisciplinary care
Surgery is one part of cancer care. Pathology, radiology, medical oncology and radiotherapy colleagues are involved where your case needs them.
- 04
Clear counselling, with compassion
You and your family are told what is known, what is not yet known, and what the options are — in plain words, with time for questions.

- Biopsy slides and blocks, if they were given to you
- All scans: CT, MRI or PET reports, with the films or CDs

PBM Hospital campusBikaner, RajasthanWhat happens at the first appointment?
The doctor listens to your story, asks about symptoms and past illnesses, examines you and studies your reports. He then explains what is known, what else may be needed, and the next steps. You can bring questions written down.
Which reports and papers should I bring?
Bring the biopsy report (a biopsy is a small sample of tissue examined under a microscope), biopsy slides and blocks if you have them, and all CT, MRI or PET reports with the films or CDs. Also bring blood test reports, discharge summaries from earlier hospitals, and a list of the medicines you take now.
Can I come for a second opinion?
Yes. Asking for a second opinion is a normal and sensible step. Bring all your records so that your case can be reviewed fully. See the second opinion page for how this works.
Is surgery always needed?
No. Some people need surgery, some need chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and some need a combination. The plan is made after examination, tests and a team discussion.
What is the difference between keyhole and open surgery?
Keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery uses small cuts and a camera, while open surgery uses a larger cut. Keyhole or robotic methods are used only where suitable. If open surgery is safer for your cancer, that is advised.
