Common Questions About Pathology Second Opinions
Here are a few practical details to help you understand what to expect before starting your pathology review.
What materials can I submit for review?
You can submit pathology reports, biopsy or surgical pathology slides, and other relevant medical records available for your case. The materials required may vary depending on the type of pathology review.
Can I choose the pathologist who reviews my case?
You can review the available specialist profiles and select the pathology specialist you prefer before starting your case.
Does a pathology second opinion replace my treating doctor?
A pathology second opinion provides additional specialist insight to support an informed discussion with your treating healthcare professional. It does not replace your treating doctor and is not an emergency service.
Can I request a second opinion on biopsy slides?
Yes. If biopsy slides or digital pathology images are available, they may be submitted with your pathology report and other relevant records for specialist review.
What happens if I do not have all of my pathology materials?
You can submit the materials currently available to you. If additional information is needed for an appropriate review, this can be identified as part of the case process.
How will I receive the pathology second opinion?
The specialist’s written opinion is provided securely through the Hospitual platform after the submitted case materials have been reviewed.
