This form collects the information required to prepare an independent second medical opinion by a licensed consulting oncologist.
Important Information About Eligibility for the Second Opinion Service
Please read the following information carefully before ordering this service. This medical second opinion is not suitable for all patients, and we can only provide it if all eligibility criteria listed below are met.
1. Type of cancer diagnosis
This service is available only for patients diagnosed with a solid tumor.
Solid tumors are cancers that form a mass in an organ or tissue (for example: breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, ovarian, melanoma, sarcoma, etc.).
This service is not available for patients with:
- Leukemia
- Lymphoma
- Multiple myeloma
- Other hematologic (blood-based) malignancies
If you are unsure whether your cancer is considered a solid tumor, please consult your treating physician or contact us at support@genomate.health before ordering this service.
2. Required molecular testing (Next-Generation Sequencing, NGS)
To provide a clinically meaningful second opinion, you must have already completed comprehensive molecular testing using next-generation sequencing (NGS) of your tumor.
This service requires an NGS test that analyzes at least 50 cancer-related genes.
Examples of commonly used NGS test providers and platforms that often meet this requirement include (this list is not exhaustive):
- Foundation Medicine (e.g. FoundationOne® CDx, FoundationOne® Liquid CDx)
- Caris Life Sciences
- Tempus
- Guardant Health (comprehensive panels)
- Illumina-based or other large-panel NGS tests performed by CLIA-certified laboratories
If you are unsure, please review your molecular pathology report, consult your treating physician, or contact us at support@genomate.health before ordering this service.
