Get a Second Opinion

The more we understand about a tumor, the more effectively we can treat it. We are committed to providing smarter and more efficient cancer care. Our multidisciplinary COMPASS Clinic team uses state-of-the-art technologies to analyze the genetic and functional profile of a sample of your child’s tumor and/or blood, then compares this to a sample of healthy cells. The COMPASS team uses this to identify potential targeted treatment options that may more effectively target tumor cells while preserving the surrounding healthy tissues.

Why Should I Get a Second Opinion?

The urge to start treatment right away is common. A second opinion can make sure the treatment plan is appropriate and that you aren’t missing other options. The more information you have, the better the choices you will make to help your child. Even if treatment has already started, a second opinion can help guide any change in your child’s care.

Is My Second Opinion Covered by Insurance?

Most insurance plans cover second opinions, but it’s always a good idea to check your coverage to be sure. If you need help with that, contact us.

What Information Should I Bring to My First Appointment?

Please bring the following information to your first appointment with the COMPASS Clinic team at the MACC Fund Center:

• The child’s age, address, family information and insurance coverage
