Your Life May Depend On It
Cancer is a very serious disease that grows exponentially. If it isn’t diagnosed properly the first time, there is often no second chance.
The National Cancer Institute has stated that if physicians would use the recommended treatments, some 10% of those dying from cancer could be saved. In other words, they imply that a prompt second opinion upon diagnosis would save between 50,000 and 250,000 Americans lives annually.
The ultimate solution is a multi-disciplinary second opinion from a Regional Comprehensive Cancer Center. This is where a medical oncologist, radiation oncologist and surgeon, will review a case and discuss it openly together in front of the patient. This way a patient understands all the options and is able to make an informed decision.
