A cancer diagnosis is always stressful. But it’s just as important to ensure that the diagnosis is accurate, the stage has been correctly determined, and the proposed treatment plan meets international standards. According to research, a second opinion in oncology leads to a change in the diagnosis or treatment strategy in 10–30% of cases. This can mean the difference between unnecessary surgery and effective treatment.
This is a remote consultation with a German specialist in the relevant field based on your medical records. The doctor reviews the imaging results (MRI, CT, PET-CT) and histology reports, and provides an independent opinion: whether the diagnosis is confirmed, whether the prescribed treatment is appropriate, and whether there are any alternatives. There is no need to travel to Germany in person—all communication takes place remotely.
Minimum required documents: medical history summary describing the diagnosis and treatment received, imaging results (on a disc or in DICOM digital format), histological report (if a biopsy was performed), and laboratory test results. The documents do not require a notarized translation—a working translation into German or English is sufficient.
A German professor’s medical report is prepared within 5–10 business days. The cost depends on the complexity of the case and the specialist’s rank: from 500 euros for a consultation with a department head to 1,500 euros for an opinion from a professor at a world-renowned university hospital. For urgent cases, an expedited procedure is available within 2–3 days.
A written report in German (with an English translation) assessing the diagnosis, the stage of the disease, the prescribed treatment, and recommendations. If the specialist believes that additional tests are needed, they will specify which ones. If treatment in Germany is recommended, the report will include a tentative plan and timeline.
We match you with a specialist who specializes in your specific type of cancer (not just “any oncologist,” but, for example, a professor who specializes in sarcomas or neuroendocrine tumors), prepare the necessary documents, and coordinate the translation and transfer of medical images. If the second opinion confirms the need for treatment in Germany, we’ll organize the entire process: from the clinic’s invitation to postoperative follow-up.
