## Who this is for
Patients seeking another cancer assessment who can meet the relevant campus’s clinical and appointment requirements.

## What they do

You can self-refer for a cancer second opinion or ask your oncologist for a referral. The U.S. cancer appointment service accepts domestic and international requests. London also offers cancer second opinions.

## Who it’s for

Patients seeking another cancer assessment who can meet the relevant campus’s clinical and appointment requirements.

## How to start

Request cancer care through the U.S. appointment service, or contact the London second-opinion service. State your location and ask whether a visit is required.

## Cost and insurance

Request a campus-specific estimate and check insurance and authorizations. U.S. and London services have separate arrangements.

## What to check

These are appointment pathways, not proof of a universally available remote written-review package. Confirm travel, remote eligibility, specialty availability and any additional testing before booking.

## How it fits

MD Anderson likewise uses an appointment-based pathway. If you specifically need a remote written report, compare programs such as UCSF and Dana-Farber.

## 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?
