When a second opinion may help
A specialist second opinion may be useful when resectability is uncertain, multiple treatment pathways are possible, prior endoscopic therapy has been unsuccessful, anatomy is complex or the diagnosis remains unclear.
What to provide
Useful material includes the clinical summary, CT/MRI/MRCP images, pathology, previous operative notes, EUS/ERCP reports, relevant blood results and the specific question the patient or referring clinician would like addressed.
Multidisciplinary review
Where appropriate, cases can be considered in a multidisciplinary context involving radiology, pathology, oncology and other relevant disciplines.
