Hi, several years ago, two of us with advanced ovarian cancer asked our oncologist to recommend a consult, and he referred us to Dr. J.Tate Thigpen in Jackson, Mississippi. Yes! Mississippi. At that time he was considered the 'guru' on ovarian cancer and people from all over the world come to consult with him. He has been Vice Chair of Clinical Trials at National Institute of Health. I saw him. I had to send my pathology slides and all imaging studies, CT"s, MRI's, etc. He was very generous with his time and the costs were EXTREMELY reasonable. He was able to make further recommendations about surgeons, etc. When needing a consult, it is important to identify A PERSON, not necessarily an institution.
I share the previous writer recommendation that for integrative medicine, Sloan Kettering with Barrie Casileth as the director of the program is highly reputable. g.
