Our commitment is to work with cancer patients, giving them access to different experts to orientate them in the best possible way about care and treatment. This second opinion in oncology service, via Cancer Consultants, allows the patient to remain in his/her own country and place of residence while at the same time having access to the most up to date information and the best recommendations regarding their oncological process.

Our specialists review the complete medical history of each individual patient and give their expert opinion regarding diagnosis, prognosis and treatment alternatives. Also, if it is considered suitable, our experts will put you in touch with the best specialists in the world in the application of the indicated treatment, according to the characteristics of your illness.

We also offer a valuable clinical resource for your doctors by providing them with possible treatment models for the patient, an expert review of the histopathology and radiology, information selected from clinical investigations that may be of interest, and a review of the literature that is relevant to the case.

With all this additional help, as well as obtaining valuable and intelligible information about your illness and treatment, both you and you doctors can feel surer that you are receiving the correct treatment. However, we at Cancer Consultants believe that, to make the second opinion more individual and to establish a definite recommendation regarding your treatment, the patient needs to be physically seen and assessed by the oncologist, so that the recommendations made as a result of the assessment of your general condition, symptoms and accompanying comorbilities, organic functions, etc. as well as the results of different diagnostic tests and necessary evaluation of your illness can be clarified. Thus, our Second Opinion service cannot, nor does it intend to, act as a substitute for the medical act of personal assessment of the patient by his/her oncologist. Rather, it aims to help the patient to know more about his/her illness and therapeutic approaches better and, in this way, to optimise all his/her decisions related to the illness.
