HOW TO UNDERSTAND IF YOUR
CANCER TREATMENT IS WORKING
Waiting for scan results is one of the hardest parts of cancer care. This guide explains exactly how oncologists measure treatment response — and what to do when results are unclear.

- check_circleRECIST criteria measure tumour size change — complete, partial, stable, or progressive disease
- check_circleLiquid biopsy (ctDNA) can detect molecular response before imaging changes are visible
- check_circleTreatment is reassessed after 2–4 cycles depending on protocol and tumour type
How CancerFax Helps
CancerFax is a specialist cancer access and patient-navigation platform. We help patients and families understand their options, organise medical records, coordinate hospital communication, and support cross-border treatment planning where appropriate.
We help collect and organise reports, scans, pathology, biomarker results, and treatment history for structured case review.
We communicate with hospitals or trial teams to assess whether a case may be suitable for further screening.
We support appointment coordination, document submission, translation, and direct communication with international departments.
For international patients, we help with practical coordination — travel planning, hospital admission guidance, and local support.
If this option is not suitable, we help explore other relevant treatments, clinical trials, or advanced care pathways.
From inquiry through to follow-up, our coordinators provide a single point of contact for the family.
CancerFax does not guarantee treatment access, eligibility, or clinical outcome. Our role is to help patients access accurate information, structured review, and appropriate specialist pathways.
Unsure Whether Your Treatment Is Working?
CancerFax reviews your scan results, tumour markers, and treatment history to help clarify response and identify whether plan changes or second opinions are warranted.
