The United States is chosen mainly for rare or highly complex cases, for second opinions from extremely specialised teams and for access to clinical trials.
Strengths
- academic centres with very high volumes of rare cases;
- the largest number of active clinical trials in the world;
- remote second opinions without travel.
Good to know
Treatment in the US is expensive and requires a medical visa. That is why we almost always start with a remote second opinion and plan travel only if it brings a clear benefit.
