## Who this is for
People seeking another opinion across a range of cancers, including rare cancers. International records can be in English or French.

## What they do

An expert reviews your records and sends a report. A case manager helps complete the file. Gustave Roussy lists a seven-day target after a complete application, with a longer process for multidisciplinary review.

## Who it’s for

People seeking another opinion across a range of cancers, including rare cancers. International records can be in English or French.

## How to start

Use the international second-opinion platform and select the review you need. International video consultations require case review and acceptance.

## Cost and insurance

As of October 2026, the international service is paid; ask for the full quote, including any multidisciplinary review. A separate pathway is covered without upfront payment for eligible patients with a French social security number.

## What to check

International and French-insured pathways have different terms. Multidisciplinary review adds time and cost; an opinion does not guarantee treatment at the hospital.

## How it fits

Unlike an employer benefit such as 2nd.MD, this is a direct hospital application. Choose the international or French-insured route that fits your situation.

## 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?
