Oncology consultation and second opinion in cancer

Facing a cancer diagnosis is not just a medical matter. It changes your daily life, your family, your plans, your perspective on the future. It’s normal to feel fear, doubt, and the need to reassure yourself that you’re doing the best you can at every moment .

At Nexus Oncology, we offer you a medical oncology team that combines clinical expertise, rapid access to advanced testing, and a vision of precision medicine.

Our goal is clear: to give you an accurate diagnosis, all the options on the table, and an oncologist nearby when you need one.

Second opinion in medical oncology

When you receive a cancer diagnosis or are offered a major cancer treatment, it’s reasonable to want a second medical opinion . It’s not distrust; it’s taking care of yourself.

At Nexus Oncology we review in detail:

  • Diagnostic and biopsy reports.

  • Imaging tests (CT scan, MRI, PET scan, Ultrasound…).

  • Treatments already performed or proposed.

  • Personal situation and goals of each patient.

Each case is assessed individually and in a multidisciplinary manner , integrating the views of oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and, when necessary, surgeons and other specialists.

A second opinion consultation can help you to:

  • Confirm the diagnosis and treatment plan.
  • Know about reasonable alternatives (other chemotherapy regimens, immunotherapy, targeted therapies or clinical trials).

  • Evaluate innovative options approved by the EMA but not yet available in the National Health System.
  • Make an informed decision, with more confidence and less fear.

We offer this consultation in person and via video consultation , so you can access a second opinion even if you live far away or have difficulty traveling.

Rapid and coordinated diagnostic process

When cancer is suspected, every week counts. At Nexus Oncology, we’ve organized a rapid diagnostic process to avoid unnecessary waiting and duplicate tests.

We have easy access to:

  • Radiological tests : Mammography, CT scan, MRI, PET-18F, PET-PSMA, ultrasound…
  • Endoscopic tests : Gastroscopy, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy, EBUS,…
  • Anatomopathological study of biopsies and surgical specimens. Immunohistochemistry to characterize the type of tumor.
  • Advanced molecular studies : mutational analysis, protein expression, microsatellite instability and other biomarkers that can open the door to targeted treatments or immunotherapy.

Early diagnosis and cancer check-ups

“The earlier cancer is detected, the more real chances of a cure there are.”

Not all our work begins with a diagnosis: we also help prevent and detect cancer early in healthy people or those with risk factors. In a few years, 1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with cancer.

At Nexus Oncology ‘s check-up unit , we design personalized screening programs , which may include:

OncoSeek

OncoSeek is an advanced blood test designed primarily for healthy individuals who want to stay ahead of the curve. Using various cancer-related markers and specific algorithms, it provides a personalized risk estimate and guides users on which organs or systems should be monitored more closely . It doesn’t replace mammograms, colonoscopies, or other screening tests, but it complements them and helps determine where to focus checkups . For those who want to proactively manage their health based on data, OncoSeek can become a key tool in their prevention plan.

The checkups are tailored to your age, personal and family medical history, lifestyle habits, and any hereditary predisposition syndromes. This way, we avoid unnecessary tests and focus on those that can truly make a difference.

Our goal is to diagnose cancer in its early stages , when the chances of a cure are much higher.

24-hour oncology hospitalization and emergency care

Some stages of treatment require more than a scheduled appointment. That’s why at Nexus Oncology we offer:

Hospitalization to complete the diagnostic process or treat acute complications of cancer or its treatments (infections, severe pain, respiratory symptoms, adverse reactions, etc.).

A 24-hour telephone or online oncology emergency service , where you can contact an oncologist by phone or video consultation if you have any symptoms or concerns.

This service allows:

Quickly assess whether it is a real emergency.

We will tell you if you can manage it at home with medication adjustments or if you need to go to a hospital.

Avoid unnecessary travel, especially for frail patients or those undergoing active treatment.

To give peace of mind to you and your family: you know there is always a professional on the other end.

Patient stories

Behind every diagnosis is a person, a family, and a story of resilience. In this section, we share real-life cases of patients who, with the right medical care, human support, and hope, have journeyed their own path to recovery.
