A member asked:
Will a 2nd opinion on path report be helpful to colon/rectal surgeon for treating crc? a few friends are misdiagnosed b/c inaccurate n staging, common?

Watch the watchmen: As a pathologist, i appreciate having a second pathologist read out the glass slides and special studies, and in fact my teachers always had a second pathologist review all cancer cases. No pathologist can accurately review just a report. I suspect your friends' issue is with past work in which pathologists have found too few lymph nodes; there's little to do at this time. Good luck.
