You can never have too many opinions when it comes to the care of your child's cancer. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's surgical oncology team often provides second opinions to families who are evaluating treatment options for their child, and looking for the best surgical resection option. Oftentimes, CHOP physicians and surgeons will confirm the treatment recommended by a families local oncologist. But in some cases CHOP is better equipped to perform complicated surgeries on rare or difficult to treat childhood cancers, and can provide a larger variety of treatment options than smaller community hospitals.
