IN THE NEWS: Importance of Getting a Second Opinion

WDIV

Charlene Zezawa was diagnosed with stage IV esophageal cancer that had spread to surrounding lymph nodes and her liver. Though she was on a treatment already, she wanted to make sure she was on the right path. So, her sister called 1-800-KARMANOS to set up a second opinion appointment. She joined Najeeb Al Hallak, M.D., MS, medical oncologist and co-leader of the Gastrointestinal and Neuroendocrine Oncology Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) and a member of the Phase I Clinical Trials MDT at Karmanos, on WDIV’s Live in the D to tell her experience. Zezawa said it's easy and quick to get a second opinion at Karmanos.
