This form is used to request an opinion on percutaneous destruction of one or several lung nodules (primary lung cancer or metastases) by radiofrequency, microwave or cryoablation under CT guidance. Your file is reviewed with the images: the download link for the chest CT scan (and the PET-CT if done) is the most useful item, together with the report of the multidisciplinary tumour board (MDT).

So that your file can be reviewed quickly:

share the images through a download link (CD contents or the link from your imaging centre), not as an attachment;
send the recent chest CT scan and, if done, the PET-CT;
attach the imaging reports, the MDT report or the letter from your oncologist, pulmonologist or thoracic surgeon, and the biopsy result if one was done;
state the number and size of the nodules, the disease status (treatments received, other sites), the lung function tests and any anticoagulants.

📀 CT or MRI images: download link (recommended)

Please do not attach the images to the form or send photos of them: we need the original images (DICOM format), shared via a link.

How do I get this link?

Your imaging centre gave you a link or an access code to view your images online: paste the link into the field above and give any access code in your message.
You have a CD or a USB stick: copy its entire content to your computer (the complete folder, including the DICOMDIR file), without renaming or sorting anything.
Go to wetransfer.com, click the three dots (…) and choose to send as a link: no e-mail address is needed. Add the folder, start the transfer, then copy the link into the field above.
A free WeTransfer link is only valid for 3 days: send this form as soon as the link is created. You can also use SwissTransfer (free), whose link can stay valid for up to 30 days (choose the longest duration).

If you cannot do this, send the form without the images: we will tell you how to send them if they are needed.
