thesecondopinion

thesecondopinion is a California nonprofit healthcare organization that provides free, comprehensive second opinions for adults in California diagnosed with new or recurring cancer. Its service model uses multidisciplinary panels of volunteer, board-certified physicians who review medical records, imaging, and pathology and then discuss treatment options with patients and families, typically remotely. Founded in 1969, the organization focuses on improving access to expert oncology guidance for patients with limited resources rather than developing therapeutics. It does not appear to operate a drug-development pipeline; instead, it functions as a patient-support and clinical advisory service in oncology.
