Radiation Oncology

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 us at 1-888-PEDI-ONC (1-888-733-4662).

To help us conduct a precise evaluation, it is important we receive a full summary of your child's initial diagnosis.

Please have as much of the following information gathered as possible when you call or bring it with you to your appointment:

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
• MRI/CAT scan films
• Pathology slides and reports
• Operative note, if surgery was performed
• Radiation therapeutic summary, if your child had radiation
• Comprehensive list of previous chemotherapeutic agents, with dates and doses, if your child had chemotherapy
