GET SECOND OPINION NOW

To help patients and their families obtain second opinions to verify or revise their cancer diagnosis, we provide:

  • CONTACT INFORMATION (names, mailing addresses) of up to three nationally-recognized pathology experts who specialize in the interpretation of your tumor type, and

  • Step-by-step INSTRUCTIONS and a SAMPLE RELEASE FORM to quickly and easily obtain a pathology second opinion.
  1. Complete the Medical Information section below.
  2. Click Submit
  3. We will promptly email you the names of pathology experts who specialize in diagnosing the tumor type you indicate.
  4. In the meantime, please review and print the Instructions and Sample Release Forms.
If you send your slides to them for professional review, the expert pathologist will bill you for his/her medical service (usually $150-$300). Many insurance providers and HMO's offer partial or complete coverage for second opinions. This site does not collect or process this professional fee.

Patients sending slides from outside the United States and Canada must include payment (Money Order or Certified Check) in the amount of $200 U.S.D.
