Second opinions for a cancer diagnosis
A second opinion from a cancer specialist at Sharp can help you make informed decisions about your care.
Know that you have options for your cancer care
When you’re facing cancer, you want to know you’re making the right decisions about your care. Receiving a second opinion from Sharp HealthCare can offer confirmation that your diagnosis is correct and help you plan the most appropriate course of treatment.
Our second opinion service is intended for patients outside of Sharp, who are seeking another medical assessment for a cancer diagnosis.
