Doctor-issued documents
We share prescriptions, written recommendations and other documents provided during the consultation. The documents available depend on what the doctor issues.
A major decision. Your questions, heard.
Cancer Second Opinion in Mumbai
Your family member is already going through cancer treatment. But the cancer has become more serious, or the next treatment decision feels bigger than the ones before. Before deciding, you want to know if cancer specialists in Mumbai could offer a different way forward.
Before you bring the patient, we help you bring the case to the doctor of your choice.
Start with what matters
What do you want another doctor to review?
The patient is already going through enough. You do not want to put them through travel and another round of consultations without first understanding what a Mumbai specialist can review. We organise the diagnosis, treatment timeline and current questions for the oncologist you choose.
Your case may centre on
- A new diagnosis or a proposed treatment sequence
- Recurrence, progression or treatment that has not helped as expected
- Questions about the next step after previous surgery, medicines or radiation
Prepared before the visit
Questions for your chosen specialist
Pick the questions that matter to your family. We take them in your own words and record the answers shared during the consultation.
- How do you interpret the diagnosis and treatment response from the available records?
- What is the aim of the proposed next treatment in this case?
- What options are appropriate to discuss, and what are their benefits and limitations?
- Would any existing pathology or imaging need further review before you can advise?
- What would require the patient to travel, and what could be coordinated with the local treating team?
- If the recommendation remains the same, what should we understand about the reasoning and follow-up?
One organised case
Records to bring together
We arrange the history and reports by date, note gaps and conflicting details, and separate the family’s account from information documented by the treating team.
Share the records you already have. This is a preparation checklist, not a request to get new tests.
- Existing biopsy and histopathology reports, including available biomarker or molecular-test results
- Dated scan reports and available images, including previous scans for comparison
- Treatment summaries with dates: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and other cancer treatments
- Recent discharge summaries, current prescriptions and available relevant blood reports
- Current symptoms and daily functioning as reported by the patient or family, plus the decision to be reviewed

Redwood’s consultation notes
Our notes identify the questions raised, the advice recorded and any follow-up instructions shared. They are labelled as Redwood’s account of the discussion, not a new medical opinion.
Outstanding questions
We identify points the doctor could not answer from the available information and any next steps advised, including whether an examination is needed.

Before you enquire
Your questions, answered
How do I book a cancer second opinion online through Redwood?
Start with a WhatsApp message or call. We prepare the case remotely, coordinate the appointment and physically take the records to your chosen Mumbai oncologist. The medical opinion comes from that doctor. This is not an instant online doctor consultation.
Can we join the cancer consultation on video?
We can connect the family by video if the doctor allows. We discuss the arrangements during preparation; a video consultation is not guaranteed.
Does the assistance fee include a new biopsy or pathology review?
No. Any additional pathology review, investigations or hospital services have separate arrangements and charges. We help note the questions and coordinate the documents requested.
Will the second opinion offer a different cancer treatment?
It may confirm the existing recommendation or suggest another approach. We cannot promise a different treatment or outcome. We share the doctor’s advice and any consultation documents provided.
Do I choose the doctor?
Yes. You choose the doctor you want to consult. Redwood does not recommend, rank or select doctors. You can contact us to understand the service before you have all your documents ready.
What if the doctor needs to examine the patient?
The doctor decides whether records are sufficient or an examination is needed. We share that advice so you can discuss the next arrangements with your family and treating team.
How soon can the consultation happen?
Appointment timing depends on the chosen doctor’s schedule.
Who receives the records and consultation notes?
We prepare the case with the patient or authorised family contact and share updates with approved contacts. Our privacy notice explains how we handle personal information.
