Why we exist
The slides sat there for a month.
I founded and ran the pathology institute at Laniado Hospital. I know exactly how long a diagnosis can wait for the right person to read it — and what that waiting does to the family holding their breath at the other end of it.
You have a plan. You don’t have peace of mind.
Most people who come to us have just been handed something: a treatment plan from a general oncologist, or a folder of test results nobody has fully explained. Nothing is obviously wrong. That’s the hard part. You can’t tell whether this is the right plan or just a plan — and you’re the one who has to live with it.
So you lie awake wondering whether your life is in the best possible hands. Not because your doctor is careless — but because cancer care has become so sub-specialised that the person who knows your exact disease, your exact receptor status, your exact stage, may simply not be in the room.
We put that person in the room. Before you start, not after.
Surgery in two days?
Some decisions can’t wait for an appointment three weeks out. Every case we receive is reviewed the same day — not only the urgent ones. If yours is time-critical, though — surgery scheduled, treatment starting, a consent form in front of you — say so when you upload, and it’s flagged and moved to the front the moment it arrives.
Start an urgent review A license isn’t the bar. This is.
People looking for a second opinion aren’t looking for another qualified doctor. They’re looking for someone at the front of the field. Every physician on our panel meets at least one of these, and we say which one on their profile:
Training or practice at a world-renowned cancer centre
A medical degree and residency from a top-tier academic programme
Active, current involvement in the clinical trials testing the newest treatments — the people writing tomorrow's standard of care, not only applying today's
That last one matters more than it sounds. A physician running trials in your disease knows what’s available beyond the standard protocol — including studies you may be eligible for and nobody has mentioned.
Every conclusion shows its source
Your records arrive as photographs, scans and reports — often in more than one language, rarely in order. We read them into a structured record: diagnosis, pathology, biomarkers, treatment history, each fact traced back to the exact document and page it came from.
That’s what your specialist reviews, and it’s why the opinion you receive isn’t a paragraph of reassurance. It states what was found, what it rests on, and what’s still missing — the tests that should have been done and weren’t. You can hand it to your own doctor and they can check every line of it.
Wherever you are
In much of the world, a sub-specialist in your exact disease isn’t weeks away — they aren’t available at all. Our patients write to us from Israel, Singapore and beyond, in their own languages, with records their own systems produced. That’s the gap we were built to close.
