Is my case a fit for a second opinion?
A second opinion is often helpful if you have a new diagnosis multiple treatment options discordant pathology or imaging results progression/recurrence or you want confirmation before starting therapy.
•Good fit: complex decisions uncertainty multiple lines of therapy clinical trial questions.
