Follow the receiving team’s records list
A receiving team may ask for existing pathology reports, imaging reports and original images, treatment summaries and a current medicine list. Keep dates and document types organized, retain originals and identify translations. Submit only what the hospital requests through the verified channel.
NCI notes that a pathology second opinion can involve slides or blocks and requires advance arrangements. Do not ship specimens based on this website. Ask the receiving and originating institutions about acceptance, handling, permissions and return arrangements. The public inquiry form has no medical-record upload facility.
