Cancer surgery is considered as a defined treatment episode—not a headline hospital price or a broad cancer category.
The comparison must include the procedure, team, pathology, anaesthesia, critical care, complications, rehabilitation, travel, and home follow-up.
Subject to centre-level diligence, early review may include robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, selected partial nephrectomy, uncomplicated colorectal resection, selected liver resection, and other clearly defined episodes.
We seek procedure-specific volume, outcome definitions, multidisciplinary review, technique, conversion, margin, complication, readmission, and reintervention information.
The hospital must have a documented route for anaesthesia, critical care, blood products, interventional radiology, re-operation, infection, thrombosis, nutrition, and unplanned readmission.
The home team needs the operative report, final pathology, imaging, medication plan, wound or catheter plan, complication summary, restrictions, follow-up schedule, and a named contact.
Begin with a short overview; detailed records are considered only through a secure workflow.
