For 50 years, The SecondOpinion has provided free, independent, comprehensive second opinions to adults in California diagnosed with cancer.
The value that we provide to cancer patients is the opportunity to have 4-7 independent, board-certified cancer specialists carefully review their medical records, images and pathology slides, and communicate directly as a committee with the patient and family.
Through this dialogue, the volunteer physicians are able to answer questions directed by the patient, confirm the diagnosis, and provide a detailed explanation of the extent of the disease, treatment options and the benefit of those treatment options. With this approach, we are able to provide patients the information necessary to manage their disease, improve their well-being (peace of mind), and to face potentially difficult choices.
