Second Opinion for Cancer Diagnosis

Getting a second opinion — especially with a cancer diagnosis — is normal. Avera Cancer Institute offers consultations for all types of cancer. Call 888-422-1410 or complete the form to request a full review of your diagnosis and medical history.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

A cancer expert will look carefully at your medical history to determine the best course of action before meeting with you. During your second opinion appointment, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Ask questions about treatment options.
  • Speak with members of your care team, including a social worker, genetic counselor, clinical-trial expert, dietitian, among others.
  • Understand your personalized treatment plan.
  • Determine next steps on moving forward.
