Remote second opinion

Hi everyone,

The more I read things on the forum and than do a research, more I realize that I dont know many things about my dad’s lung cancer prognoses. My dad is getting treatment in Istanbul and Georgia but feel like it’s not enough and I need to do smth more.

I really would like to get a second opinion for my dad from US. Is there any agency, hospital who does remote second opinion? I would love to send everything what we have, PET, CT, MRI results, all type of tests that we have done, even biopsy material and get the full report of his diagnosis, prognoses and treatment.

Thanks
