When should you seek second opinions? If you have been diagnosed with an illness, it is common that you will seek the opinion of a second medical professional. This can help to reassure you and ensure that all of your treatment options have been shared with you. For example one doctor may say that you need surgery, however a second doctor may have a second treatment option that is less invasive.

On some occasions where patients are diagnosed with a rare or complex condition, they may need the second opinions from a number of experts to ensure that their final treatment plan is the best for their condition. In some instances patients decide to travel to different clinics around the world to ensure that they see a doctor that has a strong understanding of how to treat their specific condition.

If you wish to see our specialists for a second opinion, please contact us to organise a consultation.

This article is intended to inform and give insight but not treat, diagnose or replace the advice of a doctor. Always seek medical advice with any questions regarding a medical condition.

Our very own Professor Vijay Sangar is currently attending the 20th Annual Meeting of the Society of Urologic Oncology in Washington DC.

The Society of Urologic Oncology will sponsor this highly interactive meeting where attendees participate in discussions led by internationally renowned urologic oncologists, medical oncologists, and scientists. State-of-the-art translational topics on prostate, kidney, and bladder cancer, as well as strategies in urologic oncology will be discussed.

The meeting is designed to be a discussion of issues among members of the urologic oncology community. All attendees participate in the discussions and are encouraged to interact with program faculty as well as Clinical Research sessions.

It is reassuring to know that Professor Sangar will have attended this annual meeting which helps him further understand the urology sector thus backing up the reason that he is one of the best in his field.
