- Review
- Cancer second opinions through City of Hope’s hospital network, with in-person and telehealth routes and an international remote-review option.[1]
ReviewWhat they do
Specialists review the diagnosis and treatment approach. The international program describes remote multidisciplinary second opinions. Some evaluations involve additional diagnostic tests.
Who it’s for
People seeking another cancer assessment. Services and remote access depend on the location and program.
How to start
Contact patient intake with your diagnosis and location. International patients should ask specifically for the remote second-opinion service.
Cost and insurance
Request a quote for the named campus and service, and confirm insurance authorization. An international remote review and an in-person evaluation may have different fees.
What to check
Do not assume every campus offers the same remote service. A one-day evaluation is possible only in selected cases; a fuller assessment can take several days.
How it fits
AccessHope’s employer benefit supports the treating oncologist. Applying directly to City of Hope for an appointment is a different route.
Questions I would ask
- Which specialist would review my cancer and the decision I am facing?
- Does the review include rereading the actual scans and pathology, or only their reports?
- What will I receive, and how can my oncologist ask follow-up questions?
