Hodgkin Lymphoma Program

Second opinions

We understand a cancer diagnosis is incredibly difficult to face, and we are always available to offer a consultation or second opinion for your child. To schedule an appointment, call 1-888-PEDI-ONC (1-888-733-4662). Your call will be answered within 24 hours, excluding weekends and holidays.

To help us conduct a precise evaluation, it is important we receive a full summary of your child's initial diagnosis at hand. This includes any laboratory or pathology reports, any x-ray, radiographic or MRI images, as well as a list of any previous treatments your child may have received. We will work with you and any other treating physicians to obtain the necessary information prior to the visit, including:

Patient summary

• your child’s date of birth
• your address
• parent or guardian contact information
• insurance information

Complete clinical summary

• physician's name and contact information
• diagnosis, or working diagnosis, and list of presenting symptoms
