My questions

13 on the sheet
Newly diagnosed
  1. 1.What is my exact diagnosis, stage, and grade, and which tests established them?
  2. 2.Which biomarkers have been tested on my tumour (for example WWTR1-CAMTA1 fusion, YAP1-TFE3 fusion, Pleural effusion, serosal involvement and pain, Mitotic count and size), and what were the results?
  3. 3.Which subtype is my cancer, and does that change the recommended treatment?
  4. 4.Is germline (inherited) genetic testing recommended for me or my family?
Asymptomatic, stable, multifocal
  1. 5.For my situation (asymptomatic, stable, multifocal), which of the standard options do you recommend and why?
Localised
  1. 6.For my situation (localised), which of the standard options do you recommend and why?
Progressive or symptomatic
  1. 7.For my situation (progressive or symptomatic), which of the standard options do you recommend and why?
  2. 8.Am I a candidate for Everolimus, Sirolimus protein-bound particles, Pazopanib or related drugs, and what side effects should I expect?
Any stage
  1. 9.Are there clinical trials I could join, for example of mTOR, Pazopanib?
  2. 10.Would a second opinion at a high-volume centre change anything, and can you help arrange it?
  3. 11.What supportive care (symptom control, nutrition, exercise, mental health, financial help) is available from the start?
  4. 12.I read that “No approved drug and no randomised trial”. How does that affect my plan?
  5. 13.I read that “Predicting which tumours will progress is unreliable”. How does that affect my plan?

Tests and results to bring

Biomarker results to ask for: WWTR1-CAMTA1 fusion (CAMTA1 immunohistochemistry), YAP1-TFE3 fusion (TFE3 immunohistochemistry), Pleural effusion, serosal involvement and pain (aggressive phenotype), Mitotic count and size (risk stratification).

Scans and tests linked to this cancer: Active surveillance, CT (computed tomography), MRI.

Bring copies of scan reports, pathology and blood results, and a list of every medicine and supplement.

The treatments I may be offered

From the standard of care recorded for this cancer; which apply depends on your stage and biomarkers. Ask which the team recommends and why.
