Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does Dr. Wei Sun’s clinical focus match my bone or soft tissue tumor?
Dr. Sun’s stated clinical focus covers bone and soft tissue tumors, including osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, giant cell tumor of bone, chordoma and bone metastases, as well as pelvic, sacral and extremity tumors. International patients can request MedBridgeNZ coordination for a remote specialist review before deciding whether to travel. We organize and translate the relevant records and submit the client-authorized case file to Shanghai General Hospital. Once the review is confirmed, Dr. Sun will examine the submitted information and provide his opinion on the questions presented.
How can an international patient request a remote review or hospital appointment with Dr. Sun?
Start by submitting your medical records and a short summary of your main questions to MedBridgeNZ. We coordinate document preparation, translation, client-authorized transfer and appointment communication with the hospital. For a confirmed remote review, Dr. Sun will review the submitted material and respond with his clinical opinion and recommendations. If you later choose to pursue an in-person pathway in Shanghai, MedBridgeNZ can assist with hospital appointment requests, medical invitation or visa-document coordination, travel planning and non-clinical bilingual administrative support.
What does limb-salvage surgery involve, and can Dr. Sun review whether it may apply to my case?
Limb-salvage surgery is intended to remove a malignant tumor of an extremity while preserving the limb and as much structural function as possible. Whether this approach is appropriate depends on case-specific factors such as the tumor’s size, location and stage of progression. Through a confirmed remote specialist review, Dr. Sun can examine the submitted scans and medical records, discuss whether limb-salvage treatment may be relevant, and identify questions that may require further hospital assessment. A remote opinion can help patients prepare for the next discussion but does not replace any testing or in-person evaluation the hospital may require.
