Second opinion provides an authoritative verdict on diagnosis...

Timely diagnosis and treatment of cancer is crucial. Those who approach in the first stage of cancer often have 85% chance of cure; in stage 2, there is 60% chance of cure; in stage 3 chance of cure falls to 30% and those starting treatment at stage 4 may not survive longer than 5 years. Unfortunately, many people do not go in for annual screening due to which cancer gets detected at a later stage.

Often there are instances of different hospitals giving different diagnosis on the type of cancer. This is especially true in case of subtype of cancer and also in case of rare cancers. Such a situation leaves patients and their kin confused as to how to go ahead, because only a right diagnosis followed by appropriate treatment can lead to remission or cure of the cancer.
