Why ask for a second opinion?
Why seek a second opinion in oncology?
The announcement of a cancer diagnosis is always a very difficult moment, and you often find yourself unable to fully process all the information your doctor provides.
The treatment journey is complex, lengthy, and can generate fears, doubts, misunderstandings, and questions that may go unanswered or that you may not always feel comfortable or think to discuss with your doctor.
The second opinion primarily allows you to better understand your illness and find reassurance.
Innovative cancer treatments are increasing, which is a good thing for patients. This context of accelerated treatments and their combinations offers doctors multiple therapeutic options, which can and should be shared with the patient.
The second opinion can also be an opportunity to gain a broader perspective on possible treatment options or to confirm that the current treatment is indeed the most appropriate, which is the case in 75% of second opinion requests.

Why is it important to know all the treatment options?

The second opinion in the press
A second opinion is mandatory in Sweden, Germany, and England for serious conditions. It is strongly recommended by institutions in France, including INCa (National Cancer Institute), and is the subject of many articles.
Patient testimonials
Patient share their experiences
They received a second opinion online and share their experiences with CancerConsult.
The second opinion from CancerConsult helped me avoid chemotherapy sessions.
Given my low recurrence rate after my surgery and the results of my endoPredict test, only radiotherapy was recommended for me.
An expert from CancerConsult not only provided a second opinion but also directed me to the nearest cancer center to reconfirm this recommendation. The decision was confirmed in both cases, which led to some discussion with my surgeon.
I thank the CancerConsult team for their commitment and the help they provided.– Véronique
Already, a thousand thanks for accompanying me through this journey to tackle this 'challenge' that is so complex in every respect.
Technically, it is uncommon to start chemotherapy, undergo surgery, or receive radiotherapy. These are the core treatments in the fight against the 'ordeal' of cancer. With so many potential treatments and ongoing clinical trials each year where we might be eligible, how can we navigate them all?
Furthermore, each cancer is unique because each person is biologically distinct. Not to mention the emotional dimension and the impact that the diagnosis of this disease and its mix of good and bad news can have.
