What about a second opinion for Colorectal Cancer?

Treatment decisions are complex. Sometimes it is helpful for patients to have a second opinion about the diagnosis and the treatment plan. Some insurance companies require a second opinion; others provide coverage for a second opinion at the patient’s request. There are several ways to find another doctor to consult:

  • Your doctor may be able to suggest a doctor who specializes in treating Colorectal Cancer. Specialists who treat this disease include Surgeons, Medical Oncologists, gastroenterologists and radiation Oncologists.
  • Patients can get the names of doctors from their local medical society, a nearby hospital or a medical school.
  • Cancer information lines can tell callers about treatment facilities, including Cancer Centers and other National Cancer Institute-supported programs.
