Second Medical Opinion in Oncology - MD Anderson Madrid in Madrid

Before the day of the appointment, you must send your medical history (medical reports, diagnostic tests, blood tests, biopsy results, etc…) to the MD Anderson Cancer Center Madrid - Hospiten, in order to provide them to the specialist who will review your case before the consultation:

1. This consultation may be carried out in person at the medical centre, or via video call (Microsoft Teams) or telephone call with the specialist. On the agreed day of the appointment, you connect online via the Microsoft Teams platform, by telephone or attend the hospital in person, to begin the consultation with the corresponding specialist.
2. At the beginning of the consultation, the oncologist starts with a brief interview and an assessment of the clinical reports and tests that you have previously submitted, always using approachable, clear and understandable language.
3. The specialist informs you if they consider carrying out complementary tests to extend the clinical study and provide more information to the established diagnosis, or they may even propose including complementary consultations with other specialists.
4. During the consultation, you together with your relatives (if they are accompanying you) resolve any doubts with the specialist.
5. The appointment concludes with guidance on the next steps to follow: whether this involves a prescription to carry out complementary tests and/or consultations or the proposal of therapeutic alternatives to treat the condition, if any.

Your consultation will always be with an oncology specialist who is an expert in your specific condition. For this reason, it is important to follow the medical centre’s instructions and send all medical reports and test results in advance of your appointment so that they can be reviewed and the specialist most suitable for your condition can be assigned.

As we have indicated before, we offer you the opportunity to choose the type of appointment that best suits your comfort and privacy, offering the option of carrying it out by video call or attending in person at the medical centre located in Madrid.

¿What sets the MD Anderson Cancer Center Madrid - Hospiten apart from other oncology centres?

MD Anderson Cancer Center stands out for its “precision medicine” model, in which individual patient factors such as their genetics, molecular and clinical information, as well as their environment and lifestyle are taken into account in order to provide a more personalised diagnosis of their cancer.

• Real multidisciplinary approach: at MD Anderson, the patient is supported by a fixed medical team made up of medical oncologists specialised in different cancer pathologies, oncological surgeons, radiotherapists, pathologists and specialised psychologists who are involved in evaluating the patient’s diagnosis and the strategy to follow before starting treatment.
• Access to pioneering clinical trials: at MD Anderson they have a leading research programme in the field of Oncology; that is, patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center have the opportunity to access drugs or treatments that are not yet available on the general market, thereby obtaining another opportunity when conventional treatment does not produce results.
• Advanced molecular diagnosis: Another distinguishing feature of this pioneering oncology centre is the treatment of specific genetic mutations in the patient’s tumour. They study the patient’s individual genetic profile in order to then choose the therapy with the highest likelihood of success for him/her.
