Your first second opinion is free
A second opinion is when another cancer specialist goes through your diagnosis and treatment plan, so you can be sure about the next step before you start.
Already being treated elsewhere? That’s fine. There’s no commitment to move your treatment to CION.
What happens from booking to your answer.
Call 1800 202 8726 or fill in the form. Gather all your reports, scans and biopsy results.
A CION specialist examines you and goes through your reports, the diagnosis and the plan you were given.
Your case goes to CION’s tumour board, where specialists from all CION centres weigh the options together.
Your doctor explains whether they agree with the plan, what else could be considered, and why.
A CION specialist for your type of cancer sees you, and CION’s tumour board of 17 specialists reviews your case. Doctors you can see in the Vizag region are marked.
A specialist who wasn’t involved in your care so far goes through everything again.
Medical, surgical and radiation oncologists, and a haematologist, look at your case at the tumour board.
You decide where to be treated. The opinion is yours to take back to your own doctor.
Treat cancer with medicines, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy.
