ESTABLISHED 2020
MISSION The days following a cancer diagnosis can stir feelings of uncertainty, urgency, and apprehension. Cincinnati Cancer Advisors (CCA) exists to improve the care of cancer patients seeking a second opinion so that they walk away with a thorough understanding of their diagnosis and confidence in their plan of care. We believe that great care begins with a great plan, and in doing so, we hope to take those feelings of chaos out of a cancer diagnosis through our team-oriented, mission-driven approach to making second opinions more accessible.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY CCA provides platinum-level consultative oncology services, including second opinions, care coordination, referrals, clinical trial navigation, financial navigation, and precision oncology services such as genetic testing and counseling to nearly 600 Greater Cincinnatians each year—all at no cost to the patient without billing insurance, thanks to generous donors.
This unique service ensures that every patient has access to top-tier medical advice without the burden of additional costs. We do not assume clinical care of the patient. This allows us to be objective and enhance the patient’s experience with their primary oncologist by providing reassurance and education.
This service is not just about providing a second opinion; it’s about integrating into the existing healthcare framework to enhance patient outcomes and support the local medical community.
