## Who this is for
Patients seeking confirmation of a cancer diagnosis, review of a treatment plan or other treatment options. International patients can inquire about virtual opinions.

## What they do

The cancer team reviews your case and can consult specialists across UCLA. Its program covers a range of common and rare cancers.

## Who it’s for

Patients seeking confirmation of a cancer diagnosis, review of a treatment plan or other treatment options. International patients can inquire about virtual opinions.

## How to start

Contact the cancer second-opinion team and specify your location, cancer and preferred format. A referral is not required by the program.

## Cost and insurance

Request an estimate for your chosen format and confirm insurance coverage before the appointment.

## What to check

Availability depends on location, specialist and clinical needs. Ask whether the service includes a live consultation, written report, pathology or imaging rereview.

## How it fits

UCSF’s written program explicitly excludes a live doctor discussion. UCLA offers several formats, so confirm the one you are booking.

## 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?
