- Review
- Cancer second opinions through The Royal Marsden, including an international self-pay virtual service with country restrictions.[1]
ReviewWhat they do
Royal Marsden consultant Myles Smith describes video or telephone second-opinion consultations followed by a medical report. His own practice includes sarcoma, melanoma and other rare skin cancers.
Who it’s for
Patients whose cancer and location can be accepted by the appropriate consultant. The international service has specific exclusions.
How to start
Ask the International Patient Centre to confirm acceptance, the reviewing consultant and required English-language records. UK patients can ask about the relevant consultant’s second-opinion route.
Cost and insurance
Request a written quote covering the consultation, records review and report. The international service described by the consultant is self-pay.
What to check
The consultant’s published international service excludes the U.S., Canada, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and Crimea. Confirm current hospital terms and cancer coverage before paying; availability varies by consultant.
How it fits
Unlike Gustave Roussy’s international route, this described virtual service specifically excludes U.S. and Canadian patients. Check location before comparing fees.
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?
