## Who this is for
People with cancer or a suspected cancer diagnosis. Domestic and international patients use different intake pathways.

## What they do

MSK specialists review the diagnosis and treatment plan. Its international intake offers comprehensive remote opinions, an option with video consultation, and separate oncology, pathology and radiology services.

## Who it’s for

People with cancer or a suspected cancer diagnosis. Domestic and international patients use different intake pathways.

## How to start

U.S. patients contact MSK care advisors. International patients choose the requested service on the international appointment form.

## Cost and insurance

Ask for a case-specific quote and whether your insurance applies to the particular service. Confirm which imaging and pathology reviews are included.

## What to check

Remote eligibility depends on location and the requested service. A comprehensive report, video consultation and stand-alone pathology review are different options.

## How it fits

Johns Hopkins Pathology focuses on rereading pathology. MSK also offers review of the wider cancer treatment plan.

## 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?
