Oncology · Brain tumour
We translate your MRI, pathology and surgery reports into Spanish and send them to a neuro-oncologist in Cuba who treats brain tumours. We explain the doctor’s opinion in plain language and, if you decide to go ahead, plan treatment and travel with you.
Who it is for
The pathology result is in and you want a second specialist opinion before radiotherapy and drug treatment.
You are having radiotherapy or a drug such as temozolomide and want to review your options.
The tumour has grown again or there is a new finding, and you want your whole file looked at before the next decision.
You can apply for your child or an adult relative. Every update comes to you.
What the doctor checks
A brain tumour is not a single disease. Treatment depends on whether the tumour started in the brain or spread from another cancer, on its type and on its grade. In your file, the doctor looks closely at these points.
The type in the pathology report, such as glioblastoma, astrocytoma or meningioma, the WHO grade and the IDH, 1p/19q and MGMT results.
Contrast MRI reports and the images themselves. Comparing earlier and recent scans helps the most.
How much of the tumour was removed, radiotherapy and drugs such as temozolomide, with start dates.
Seizures, weakness, speech or vision problems, and the steroids and anti-seizure medicines you take.

FAQ
Start by uploading the reports. If the doctor needs to see the images themselves, our team tells you how to send them, for example from the CD or download link the imaging centre gave you.
No. You do not need to stop or change any medicine to get an opinion. Make every decision about your medicines with your own doctor. In the application, simply list what you take and the doses.

Not once your file has been sent to the doctor. The preliminary review fee pays for the specialist's review of your file, not for acceptance for treatment, so it is not refunded whether the doctor's opinion is positive or negative. If you withdraw after paying but before your file is sent to the doctor, the fee is refunded. If the doctor asks for more documents during the review, there is no extra charge. To withdraw, simply write to info@cubahealthassist.com with your file number; our finance team will handle your request.
