It is a separate pediatric pathway from Dana-Farber’s adult online program.\n\n## Who it’s for\n\nFamilies seeking another opinion after a child’s diagnosis, a change in condition or a proposed treatment or surgery.\n\n## How to start\n\nUse the pediatric online second-opinion program, or contact a new-patient coordinator for an in-person appointment.\n\n## Cost and insurance\n\nAsk the pediatric program for its current fee, location eligibility and insurance rules. Do not assume the adult Dana-Farber price applies.\n\n## What to check\n\nConfirm the reviewing specialty, written deliverable and whether any live discussion is included. This service is not designed for emergencies.\n\n## How it fits\n\nThe Dana-Farber Cancer Institute profile describes the adult route. This program is for pediatric cancer and blood disorders.\n\n## Questions I would ask\n\n- Which specialist would review my cancer and the decision I am facing?\n- Does the review include rereading the actual scans and pathology, or only their reports?\n- What will I receive, and how can my oncologist ask follow-up questions?\n\n## Contacts\n\n- Pediatric appointments and second opinions: [Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s](https://www.danafarberbostonchildrens.org/patients-and-families/appointments-and-second-opinions)\n- Online second-opinion overview: [Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s](https://www.danafarberbostonchildrens.org/stay-connected/second-opinions)","topics":["expert-support"],"capabilities":["second-opinions"],"organizationType":"academic-center","services":["expert-review"],"communityFocus":["Children","Adolescents"],"secondOpinion":{"coverage":"broad","focus":[],"summary":"Pediatric cancer and blood-disorder second opinions, available in person or remotely through Boston Children’s and Summus.","details":"Confirm the reviewing specialty, written deliverable and whether any live discussion is included.
