Why Get a Second Opinion for Cancer?

• 25–30% of cancer diagnoses are modified after a second opinion
• Treatment plans change (less aggressive or more targeted) in up to 40% of cases
• You may qualify for clinical trials not available in your country
• Indian oncologists often suggest alternative drugs costing 80% less (generic biosimilars)
• Peace of mind — confirming your diagnosis before starting treatment

Cost of Second Opinion in India

A comprehensive remote second opinion from a senior oncologist at Apollo, Tata Memorial, or Fortis costs ₹5,000–15,000 ($60–180) — compared to $500–2,000 at US cancer centres. In-person opinion during your hospital visit is included in the consultation fee.
