The key point
What can make a second-opinion fee differ and how to request written scope and cancellation terms without promising a price or outcome.
This is an educational summary, not a diagnosis or final treatment recommendation.
There is no universal price
Fees can vary by specialty, record complexity, translation, repeat testing, and whether the review is remote or in person. TanyaKanker does not set or promise a facility's price.
Ask for a written breakdown
Request what is included, possible extra costs, currency, taxes or transfer fees, cancellation policy, and when the review is expected.
- Record review and consultation fee.
- Translation or shipping if needed.
- Additional tests not included.
- Cancellation, refund, and rescheduling terms.
You do not have to understand everything alone to take the next step.
Prepare records
Prepare a diagnosis summary, pathology, biomarkers, imaging, treatment history, and your main questions.
Frequently asked questions
These are cost-planning prompts, not a quote.
Does paying guarantee a recommendation?
No; it does not guarantee a diagnosis, acceptance, or outcome.
Do all facilities use the same package?
No; components and billing differ.
What is the safest first step?
Ask for scope, records, fee, and cancellation terms before payment.
How this service works: uploads, privacy, and limits
TanyaKanker is a preparation tool, not a medical provider. It does not diagnose, choose treatment, promise treatment results, or decide trial suitability. It helps organize records and questions so discussion with the medical team is more focused.
- After upload: the site tools organize the answers and supplied documents into a structured case summary for consultation, second opinion, or trial exploration. It is not a diagnosis and not a treatment decision.
- Useful records often include the diagnosis summary, pathology, biomarkers, imaging, treatment history, and questions.
- Current privacy state: draft answers are kept on the user's device as structured data, without free text and without file names. Until sign-in and consent are completed, medical files are not sent to TanyaKanker servers. After sign-in and consent, files are stored in private storage with time-limited links and are never sent to analytics.
- Human review path: this guide has not been reviewed by a doctor, as stated in its review label. Requests sent through the consultation page are read and followed up by a human, not by an automatic reply. No medical outcome or response-time guarantee is made.
- Limits: treatment decisions remain with the patient and the medical team that examines the patient directly. Therapy availability and trial acceptance must always be confirmed with the relevant facility or study team.
