Connect the biopsy with the scans
Review the endoscopy, pathology and imaging reports together to clarify the tumor's location, type and stage, and identify questions still needing answers.
Understanding the exact diagnosis
The biopsy identifies the tumor type, while staging tests show its extent. Most stomach cancers arise in the lining and are called adenocarcinomas. Other tumors, such as stomach lymphoma or a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), need different treatment discussions.
How I can help
A treatment plan tailored to your cancer, test results, overall health and preferences, informed by current evidence.
Check which biomarkers matter
Discuss whether results such as HER2, PD-L1 and MSI/MMR are relevant to your situation. Particularly in advanced disease, these findings may help select targeted treatment or immunotherapy.
Understand the treatment sequence
Discuss how surgery and drug treatment may fit together, or the options when surgery is unsuitable. Weigh current evidence, expected side effects and effects on eating alongside your health and preferences.
Reports to bring, if available
Bring the reports you already have. This list does not mean every test is needed.

Please also bring your medication list, previous treatment records, and questions.
Questions we can work through
