Here are the things families usually want to know before taking a second opinion.
Not everyone does. But if you are unsure about the treatment plan, facing a major decision like surgery or chemotherapy, or simply want to be sure before going ahead, another specialist can review the case and give you an independent opinion.
You should not delay urgent treatment just to get another opinion. That is why we try to get the written opinion to you within 48 hours, so you can get clarity without losing unnecessary time.
Your case is reviewed by a cancer specialist who works in that particular area of cancer. You will see the specialist’s name, experience, current hospital and areas of focus before you choose them.
Not every cancer specialist treats every type of cancer. We look at the exact cancer, its stage and the treatment decision you are facing, and match 2–3 specialists whose work is most relevant to your case. We also tell you why each one has been matched. You choose whom you want.
Taking another opinion does not mean you do not trust your doctor. Cancer treatment can involve important decisions, and families sometimes want another specialist to look at the same case before they go ahead. You can continue treatment with your current doctor even after taking the opinion.
Yes. A second opinion can still be useful after treatment has started — especially if you have doubts about the current plan, the next step, or a major decision coming up.
No. You can do everything from home. Share the reports with us, choose the specialist you want, and the specialist will give you a written opinion.
Send us whatever cancer-related reports you currently have — scans, biopsy reports, blood reports, discharge summaries, prescriptions or previous treatment records. You do not have to arrange or organise them before sending.
The complete second opinion costs ₹5,000. The fee is the same whichever specialist you choose. There are no additional charges for preparing the case for the specialist.
