Biopsy Second Opinion in Israel

Dear Patient,

We provide a Biopsy Second Opinion service for Romanian patients. This is a remote service, for which you should just send biopsy blocks and slides to Israel by courier. Your biopsy samples will be analyzed by specialists in Israeli laboratories.

Foreign patients or their attending physicians turn to us for help to confirm or clarify the diagnosis, without coming to Israel, but by sending us blocks and slides.

Having received reports from the Israeli pathology laboratory, your doctor will operate with reliable data, on the basis of which he will prescribe the right treatment. An accurate diagnosis will determine the optimal treatment strategy, based on the physician’s many years of experience.

We can promptly coordinate an Israeli doctor consultation online, at your request via Zoom / Skype, Whatsapp, Viber, Telegram etc. Or you can come to doctor consultation in Israel.

Why is it important to verify the diagnosis in Israel?

Romanian or Israeli doctors sometimes require confirmation or clarification of the diagnosis in Israel to prescribe the proper treatment.

As you understand, an erroneous diagnosis can lead to incorrect, ineffective, and sometimes unnecessary or even harmful treatment, during which the disease can progress significantly, causing suffering and changing the quality of life for the worse. In some cases, this process becomes irreversible.

Due to lack of experience, many types of cancer are misdiagnosed. These are diseases such as sarcoma, leukemia, lymphoma, gynecological cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer, kidney cancer. In this case, diagnosis verification and online consultation are necessary.

What specialist performs biopsy second opinion?

Pathology is not an exact science, so the knowledge and experience of the doctor who performs the pathological examination is of great importance. There are situations when some details are hidden from the eyes of a specialist, and only an experienced pathologist can see them.

There are also cases when the difference between malignant and benign cells is small, so a subjective interpretation may be erroneous.

Many mistakes, for example, occur due to benign tumors that “mimic” malignant tumors, and malignant tumors that mimic benign ones. An experienced pathologist can identify “imitators”, but a less experienced pathologist can make a misdiagnosis.

Currently, there are more and more methods of treating diseases (including cancer), in which case the biopsy second opinion (revision) becomes more and more important, since it is necessary to determine not only the accurate diagnosis, but also its degree, on the basis of which the oncologist will make the accurate diagnosis, right solution, and you will receive the most effective treatment.

Determination of the grade is a very delicate process, to some extent the assessment can be subjective, and it depends very much on the pathologist’s experience. Your blocks and slides will be sent to pathologists who specialize in a your particular disease.

Statistics

In our practice, we have encountered the fact that in almost a third of the cases of patients, the diagnosis was inaccurate, and its revision has led to a change in treatment or prognosis.

Therefore, we concluded that revision of the blocks and histopathology slides is necessary.

All of the above does not mean that your diagnosis is incorrect. But we always recommend to be on a safe side ordering a biopsy second opinion in Israel.

When biopsy second opinion is needed?

  • When it becomes difficult to make a diagnosis.
  • When the diagnosis is unclear or the disease is on the border between the two diagnoses, or when there are several opinions.
  • When your symptoms and general condition do not match the results of a biopsy and/or MRI / CT / PET CT imaging.
  • When there you have a rare medical diagnosis.
  • If you know that the diagnostics was performed by a pathologist who does not specialize in your disease, or it was performed at an unknown laboratory or a center with insufficient experience in histopathological studies of your disease.
