Second opinion from an oncologist at the Oxford Medical Kyiv private clinic

Second opinion from an oncologist

Second opinion from an oncologist in Kyiv

When a patient receives a cancer diagnosis, their life changes. Along with shock and fear, many questions arise: is the diagnosis correct, is the recommended treatment really necessary, are there other options? In such a situation, it is important not to be alone with your doubts - it is worth contacting another specialist to get an objective assessment of the situation.

The Oxford Medical Center in Kyiv has a special program under which patients can receive a free consultation with an oncologist for an independent assessment of the diagnosis and treatment tactics. This approach helps reduce anxiety, avoid unnecessary intervention, or, conversely, start treatment on time when it is really necessary.

What is a "second opinion from an oncologist"?

The “second opinion” service involves a consultation with an independent oncologist who was not involved in the initial diagnosis or treatment planning. The goal is to objectively assess the results of the studies, the validity of the diagnosis, and the appropriateness of the proposed therapy. The oncologist analyzes the clinical situation, the results of laboratory and imaging studies, as well as previously prescribed medications.

This is not a demonstration of distrust in the previous doctor, but a medically justified step that allows you to consider the problem from a different perspective.

In what cases should you seek a second opinion?

Seeking a second opinion from an oncologist may be appropriate in a variety of clinical situations. These include:

Doubts about the diagnosis.

If a patient has received a diagnosis but does not have enough explanation or feels that the information is not enough to make a decision, consulting another specialist will help to understand the situation.

Appointment of complex treatment.

If the initial treatment plan includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these, an independent evaluation should be considered.

Search for alternatives.

Sometimes one doctor may suggest a standard tactic, while another may suggest a more modern or gentle method, such as organ-sparing surgery or targeted therapy.

Lack of effect from treatment.

If the treatment has not yielded results or the patient's condition worsens, additional evaluation is necessary to adjust the tactics.

Rare or complex disease.

In such cases, involving several specialists significantly increases the chances of making the right decision.

What types of cancer can you treat?

At the Oxford Medical Center, patients are provided with comprehensive care for various oncological diseases. The clinic's specialists conduct diagnostics, assess the stage of the oncological process, form a treatment plan and provide a second opinion on the already established diagnosis or recommended therapy.

Oncological diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. These include tumors of the esophagus, stomach, colon and rectum, liver, pancreas.

Oncological diseases of the female reproductive system. The clinic treats benign and malignant neoplasms of the cervix, endometrium, ovaries, fallopian tubes.

Oncological lesions of the genitourinary system. Such diseases include tumors of the kidneys, bladder, prostate, testicles, adrenal glands.

How to get a free consultation with an oncologist?

To receive a free consultation with an oncologist, you must provide the following

medical documents:

  • a report from an oncologist from another clinic;
  • diagnosis and examination results (MRI, CT, ultrasound, endoscopy, etc.);
  • histological or cytological findings;
  • tests and extracts from the initial diagnosis made by the doctor.

How does the consultation under the “Second Opinion” program work?

The consultation takes place in several stages:

Providing research results.

For a full assessment, the doctor needs documents: medical history extracts, laboratory test results, ultrasound, CT, MRI, and histological findings.

Condition assessment.

The specialist studies all the documents provided, assesses the correspondence of the diagnosis to the clinical picture, analyzes the validity of the prescribed treatment. If necessary, additional examination may be recommended.

Forming a conclusion.

The doctor provides a written conclusion with explanations: confirmation or correction of the diagnosis, assessment of the feasibility of treatment, proposal of alternatives.

Clarifications and recommendations.

The patient receives answers to all questions, recommendations on next steps, and, if necessary, assistance in organizing treatment.
