Teleconsultation at BALCO Medical Centre: when it helps and when it is not enough
Teleconsultation can be useful for report review, second opinion, follow-up advice, medicine clarification or travel planning. It may not be enough when the patient needs physical examination, biopsy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy planning, surgery evaluation, emergency care or admission.

|---|---|---|
| Initial report discussion when travel is difficult | New severe symptoms or emergency condition | Ask how to upload reports and whether scan films/CDs are needed. |
| Follow-up after previous hospital visit | Chemotherapy/radiation/surgery planning | Keep previous prescription, treatment summary and latest reports ready. |
| Second opinion from oncology team | Biopsy/pathology review requiring slides/blocks | Ask whether original biopsy slides/blocks are needed later. |

How to prepare for cancer treatment discussion at BALCO
A cancer consultation is not only about asking “doctor available or not”. Patients usually need clarity on diagnosis, stage, treatment sequence, cost estimate, visit frequency, side effects, emergency warning signs and whether treatment can be done as daycare or requires admission.
| Ask this question | Why it matters | Who should ask |
|---|---|---|
| Is the diagnosis confirmed or does pathology need review? | Treatment can change if biopsy/IHC/molecular details are incomplete. | New patient or second-opinion patient |
| What is the likely stage and treatment goal? | Curative, control and palliative treatment planning differ. | Patient family and primary caregiver |
| Which department leads the case? | Some cases need chemo first, some surgery first, some radiation first. | All first-visit cancer patients |
| Can treatment be done as daycare? | Chemotherapy day-care planning affects stay, cost and caregiver schedule. | Chemotherapy patients |
| What symptoms require emergency visit? | Fever during chemo, bleeding or severe weakness may need urgent care. | Every patient starting treatment |
