- RC82.B86.1 - Multidisciplinary Second Opinion Fundamentals

Malin Dollinger, MD - When a diagnosis of cancer is made, there is much fear, misunderstanding, and many questions about therapy. Unless emergency treatment is needed, I feel it is very important for the patient and their family/friends to allow themselves time to learn exactly what the diagnosis means, gather information on how it can be treated (surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy), weigh the options and understand the prognosis and the chances for a cure.
