HISTOPATHOLOGY BIOPSY: SECOND OPINION

What this test checks

An independent expert review of your existing pathology slides and reports by a specialist pathologist — providing a second opinion on a previous tissue diagnosis.

Why do people get this test?

Pathology diagnoses — especially for rare tumours or borderline findings — can be complex. A second expert opinion provides reassurance, may reveal a different diagnosis, and helps ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment.

When you should consider this test

• When you want confirmation of a cancer diagnosis before starting treatment
• When a rare tumour or unusual pathology finding needs expert review
• When clinical findings don't match the initial pathology result

How to prepare

No preparation needed — your existing glass slides and/or paraffin blocks are sent for review.
