Information, not a consultation

Everything on this website is general, educational information about cancer and its treatment. It is not medical advice for you, and it does not replace a consultation with your doctor.

Reading this website, messaging, or sending reports does not by itself create a doctor–patient relationship. That begins only when the consultation fee has been paid and the consultation has been confirmed by Dr. Rizal.

In an emergency

Do not use this website, WhatsApp or email in an emergency. Go to the nearest hospital emergency department, or call:

  • Nepal: ambulance 102, police 100
  • India: emergency 112

Online consultations and second opinions

  • An online consultation or second opinion is based on the records and information you provide. Missing or unclear records can change the advice.
  • Some problems cannot be assessed without an in-person examination or new tests; you may be asked to come for an in-person visit.
  • Final treatment decisions should be made together with the doctors treating you.

About treatments

  • Treatment information is general. The right treatment depends on the exact diagnosis, stage, test results and your overall health.
  • Results differ from person to person. No treatment outcome can be guaranteed.
  • Some medicines or tests described may not be available, approved or affordable in every hospital in Nepal or India.
  • Do not start, stop or change any medicine because of something you read here. Speak to your doctor first.

Accuracy and links

  • Pages are written or reviewed by Dr. Kushal Rizal and show a “Last reviewed” date. Cancer care changes quickly, so some information may become out of date between reviews.
  • Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for their content.
  • Advertisements appear only in the Recent developments in oncology section and are labelled. An advertisement is not a recommendation or endorsement by Dr. Rizal.
