Lin Song

Clinical focus More than 30 years of neurosurgical experience at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, with expertise in glioma, craniopharyngioma and other brain tumor surgeries, especially minimally invasive functional-area tumor surgery with neurological function preservation. Useful preparation for international patients Lin Song is listed in MedToChina's specialist directory for Brain Tumors at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University. For a first case review, patients should prepare a one-page diagnosis and treatment summary, recent test reports with dates and reference ranges, current medications, allergies, and relevant medical history, pathology or biopsy reports, staging imaging, treatment cycles, radiation summaries, and molecular test reports if available, and brain or spine MRI/CT files, neurologic examination notes, seizure or stroke timeline, and prior procedure reports when relevant. This profile is most useful for patients who need tumor board-style record review, pathology review preparation, treatment sequence questions, or post-treatment follow-up planning and neurology or neurosurgery record review, imaging review, symptom timeline clarification, or second opinion planning. A short timeline of symptoms, previous treatment, response, side effects, and current goals helps the hospital understand whether the request is suitable for outpatient consultation, inpatient evaluation, second opinion, or further testing. Questions to clarify before booking - Which department should review the case first? - Which records must be translated before the hospital can assess the request? - Are original imaging files, pathology materials, or lab trends needed? - Is the expected visit for consultation only, or could tests or admission be required? - What travel timing is realistic after the hospital reviews the records? Coordination note MedToChina can help organize records, translate core documents, and communicate appointment requirements. Final diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and medical decisions must come from the hospital or licensed physician.
