/Home/Brain Tumors: Getting A Second Opinion
Patients diagnosed with a brain tumor often want to get a second opinion. Getting a second opinion means asking another physician to review your case. A second opinion can confirm an initial diagnosis and/or can be used to compare suggested courses of treatment. When possible, it is preferable to get a second opinion before treatment has begun. Therefore, a second opinion should be obtained as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment. The following list of questions can help you decide when and how to get a second opinion.
