The mission of thesecondopinion is to provide free multidisciplinary second opinions and related services to adults in California diagnosed with cancer.

Whether newly diagnosed or having recurring cancer, lives of cancer patients and families are saved or improved with a better understanding of their disease and of their options.

Since 1974, thesecondopinion has offered Californians a service that is literally priceless. You can’t buy it, and you cannot obtain this service anywhere else in America. Our team of volunteer doctors has been helping cancer patients and their families with one simple mission: to help them understand what’s about to happen. Patients are often overwhelmed with uncertainty. This is where we are at our best; our team of volunteers is here to help families move forward and begin the fight.

As a volunteer physician, you will touch patients in an extraordinary way.

As a supporter, you will allow us to continue our special work. Thank you.
