In California, thesecondopinion gives adults with cancer a free review of their diagnosis and treatment plan by a panel of volunteer cancer specialists.
Overview
thesecondopinion has offered free second opinions in San Francisco since 1969. A patient sends their records; a panel of volunteer specialists from different disciplines reviews the pathology, imaging and plan, then meets the patient and family to explain their view, and sends a written report to the treating team. The service is limited to adults with a cancer diagnosis in California, and it is free because the clinicians volunteer their time.
Holds
