- Review
- Cancer second opinions through Mayo Clinic’s appointment service, with a separate private second-opinion pathway at Mayo Clinic Healthcare in London.[1]
ReviewWhat 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?
