In this webinar, we sat down with Dr. Jason Sager to talk about second opinions in cancer.

When there is a questions about the diagnosis, the oncologist will often lead the second opinion process, but this is only one type of second opinion.

We discuss how to get a second opinion to uncover different treatment options. And why most second opinions do not lead to better treatments.

We discuss getting a second opinion early and assembling your own informal tumor board that crosses different cancer centers.

Second opinions can be considered at any time, including before surgery or when there is a relapse or return of the cancer.

We cover how Sagely Health find patients they ideal second opinions for their particular cancer type and situation
