When her mammogram results revealed abnormalities, Nina was called in for repeat testing. After undergoing a biopsy and consulting with a second doctor on her results, she was told that there was no evidence of cancer and that nothing further was necessary. Yet she remained uneasy: the pain, discomfort were too real to ignore. She reached out to Best Doctors for advice.
After speaking to Nina in detail about her symptoms, medical history and concerns, Best Doctors collected her complete records and test results and decided to conduct a pathology review, performed by an expert pathologist at a leading US academic medical centre and revised by two more pathologists.
The review identified invasive cancer that had previously been missed. |

Nina’s case was then immediately sent to a top oncologist who, based on her new diagnosis, proceeded to explain the necessary testing which she would need to have done in order to fully stage her cancer, as well as recommended genetic testing. The expert then provided step-by-step treatment recommendations based upon the results.
After receiving the findings, Nina was able to arrange for treatment and care with a breast oncology team at a leading hospital, where she is currently undergoing the recommended surgery and radiation.
Nina is extremely thankful to Best Doctors for its dedicated service, clear and comprehensive expert report and, most of all, for a potentially life-saving change in diagnosis. |
