Reviewing a proposed procedure with your chosen doctor
Lung Cancer Surgery
second opinion in Mumbai.
Medical term: Lung resection: segmentectomy, lobectomy or pneumonectomy
Already chosen your thoracic cancer surgeon in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed lung cancer surgery? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.
You choose the doctor. We take your case to them.
Understand the procedure
What is lung cancer surgery?
Lung cancer surgery removes the part of the lung containing the tumour in selected patients. The extent of disease and the person's breathing reserve influence whether surgery is appropriate and how much lung can be removed.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Your decision, your questions
Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- What stage and lung-function findings support surgery?
- How much lung would be removed, and why is that extent needed?
- What approach and lymph-node assessment are planned?
- How could my breathing change, and would other cancer treatment be needed?
Your existing case file
Records to organise
We organise the biopsy and tumour-marker or molecular reports if already performed alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the thoracic cancer surgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- Biopsy and tumour-marker or molecular reports if already performed
- CT, PET and completed staging investigations
- Lung-function and available exercise or cardiac assessments
- Oncology recommendation, prior treatments and current medicines
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
When you cannot attend yourself
How Redwood takes your case to your doctor
- Tell us whom you have chosen. Share the doctor’s name, hospital or clinic, and the decision you want reviewed.
- Prepare the case with us. We organise your existing records, treatment timeline and questions, then coordinate the appointment.
- We attend with your case. Your Care Steward takes the organised lung cancer surgery case file to the thoracic cancer surgeon you selected and puts forward your recorded questions. After the consultation, we share the doctor's recommendations and consultation documents with you.
A video call during the consultation can be arranged if the doctor allows.
We respond within 12 hours of your enquiry.
