Every person's cancer, medical history, goals, and questions are unique. Some people are looking for help understanding a new diagnosis, while others want to explore additional testing, obtain an independent physician opinion, or better understand the latest precision cancer medicine research.
Whether you're seeking education, research and navigation support, or a physician consultation, we're here to help you find the service that best fits your needs. The guide below will help you compare your options and decide where to start.
While each service has a distinct purpose, they are designed to work together—helping you better understand your situation, explore today's evidence, and connect with the appropriate resources and licensed physicians based on your individual needs.

Precision Second Opinion
Your records are reviewed in advance by our Precision Cancer Medicine Research Team before your consultation with a licensed Medical Oncologist. One follow-up physician appointment is included.
Integrative Precision Cancer Medicine Consultation
Everything included in the Precision Second Opinion, delivered by a licensed Medical Oncologist with expertise in Integrative Oncology. Includes two follow-up physician appointments.
Both physician consultation services include the same comprehensive pre-consultation case review, multidisciplinary preparation by our Precision Cancer Medicine Research Team, physician consultation, written summary, and post-consultation navigation support.
The Integrative Precision Cancer Medicine Consultation differs in two important ways: it is led by a licensed Medical Oncologist with additional expertise in Integrative Oncology and includes two follow-up physician appointments, compared with one follow-up appointment included with the Precision Second Opinion.
