2nd opinion on Biopsy

[Seat15c]

I had a Biopsy, Decipher and PSMA done at Stanford. I want to get a 2nd opinion of the Biopsy.

Both Stanford and UCSF want to do 2 sessions of HDRB without ADT (They feel with my pathology and low decipher ADT would not provide much benefit)

Uses CT and US for planing Stanford US alone

Where would go for a 2nd opinion for the Biopsy?

Thanks

Johns Hopkins is good. Or MD Anderson in Houston. It is a pretty easy process to get the 2nd opinion done.

Johns Hopkins is the gold standard:

Dr. Sartor at Mayo…they have a lot of new treatments out based on new trials.

He is world renowned, he used to be at Tulane, very accessible, can tele visit, and extremely easy to talk to.

You can have your slides sent to any of these institutions by just contacting them, they will arrange to get your slides.

My decipher was low risk and I wound up with an aggressive cancer, so I don’t hold much stock in that test.

Biopsy I had slides sent to MD Andersons and John Hopkins, as well as Texas Cancer, Tulane, Ochsner and Mayo, with each one grading a bit different….7 different hospitals total counting one I wouldn’t recommend.

Also get the Tempus XF test to check for mutations.

your doctor should send your biopsy results to another doctor for a second
