‘Raise the level of care’
Naples initiative removes barriers to second-opinion cancer consultations
Not seeking a second opinion or consultation for a cancer diagnosis or treatment plan could result in a misdiagnosis, limited options, emotional and mental turmoil, physical pain and loss of life-saving care. However, getting a second opinion for a cancer diagnosis or treatment plan can have its own costs, including high fees, time and overwhelming stress. A new initiative in Naples aims to eliminate these barriers.
