About this procedure
Removal of lymph nodes from the pelvis so they can be examined for cancer spread. It is commonly done alongside surgery for prostate, bladder or gynaecological cancer.
How treatment is planned
What is actually done depends on your diagnosis, your scans and reports, and your general health — two people with the same diagnosis are not always offered the same operation. The plan is set by the treating consultant after reviewing your case, not before.
This is how AmalCure handles it for a patient travelling from abroad:
- You send your reports and scans; we pass them to the relevant consultants for review.
- You receive an opinion on the options open to you, and an indicative cost estimate for each.
- A second opinion from another consultant is available before you commit to anything.
- Once you decide, we handle the medical visa invitation, appointment dates, airport pickup and accommodation.
- A coordinator stays with you through admission, treatment and discharge, and for follow-up after you are home.
