Second Opinion

Cancer is not only a serious but also a rather complex disease and the choice of treatment can make a difference between life and death. For this reason, patients should always get a second opinion from an independent expert before starting or during treatment. Getting a second opinion is not perceived as mistrust on the part of the patient towards the treating physician, it is considered common sense in terms of patient safety.  

In the Hospital SanaFontis patients have the opportunity to obtain a second opinion in the form of a comprehensive written expert opinion. The two-days oncological examination and consultation for in- and out-patients includes the following procedures: 

  • Careful evaluation of the patient’s current medical file/history
  • Analysis of the international medical literature about the disease
  • Therapy recommendations
  • Psycho-oncological counselling
  • Nursing
  • Physical therapy including lymphological advice
  • Diagnosis according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
  • Advice regarding diet and micronutrients
  • Advice regarding complementary therapy approaches such as mistletoe therapy, etc.
