Second opinion
Second opinion on prostate cancer, bladder or kidney tumour
A cancer diagnosis forces a decision few people are prepared for. A second look costs you one conversation and a few days — and it confirms the chosen path just as often as it points to another one. Either is a good outcome.
You do not have to switch hospitals and you do not have to decide anything. You remain in the care of your own urologist.
Second opinion
Received a diagnosis? We will go through your findings with you in the second-opinion clinic.
How it works
- 1
Make an appointment
Through the urology secretariat, by telephone or by requesting a callback.
- 2
Bring your documents
Findings and images – the list is below.
- 3
The consultation
We review your findings and discuss with you which options come into consideration.
- 4
Your decision
You decide calmly – together with your urologist.
What you should bring
- — Referral from your urologist — with Knappschaft, the insurance card is sufficient; privately insured and self-paying patients do not need one
- — Your PSA history — ideally every value with its date, not just the most recent one
- — The biopsy report and, if available, the number of the tissue block
- — MRI or CT images on CD or DVD — the images themselves, not just the written report
- — Doctors' letters from your treatment so far
- — A list of your medications
If something is missing, come anyway. Much of it can be requested afterwards — the appointment need not fail because of it.
Rather be called back?
Please check your details
We need your name, a callback number, a time window and your consent.
