- Cancer second opinions covering diagnosis and treatment, with in-person appointments and remote options that depend on your location.[1]
ReviewWhat 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?
