Remote review
We study your documents and arrange a second opinion from a specialist professor.
Oncology
A second opinion, a confirmed diagnosis and treatment with oncologists at leading Swiss clinics — with CorSwiss from the first enquiry through follow-up after therapy.
About the specialty
Start with an accurate diagnosis
With a cancer diagnosis, the first decision is the most important. We begin with verification: latest-generation PET-CT, 3-tesla MRI, molecular genetic testing (NGS) and liquid biopsy refine the picture — and often change it. On that basis a specialist professor gives a second opinion.
The treatment plan in Swiss clinics is not signed off by one doctor but by an oncology board — the Tumour Board — where a surgeon, radiologist, pathologist and medical oncologist review the case together. Then the methods that are genuinely needed become available: Da Vinci robotic surgery, proton therapy, immunotherapy and targeted drugs, radioligand therapy.
We know the oncologists at leading Swiss clinics personally and match a specialist to your diagnosis. You can start remotely — a document review does not require travel.

Questions and answers
Frequent questions
How much does cancer treatment cost in Switzerland?
The cost depends on the diagnosis, stage and protocol chosen: the diagnostic stage, surgery, and a course of radiotherapy or drug therapy are priced separately. We request an estimate from the clinic and pass it to you before treatment starts — without ballpark figures that later change.
Can I get a professor’s opinion without travelling to Switzerland?
Yes. We arrange a review of your documents and a second opinion from a specialist professor — before the trip is planned.
How quickly can treatment start?
Organisation usually takes 5–10 working days — depending on urgency and whether a visa is needed. With a cancer diagnosis we handle the case as a priority.
Do I need to speak a foreign language?
No. A medical interpreter accompanies you at appointments and stays in touch throughout your stay in Switzerland.
Why CorSwiss rather than going to the clinic directly?
We are your independent representative and full-cycle medical concierge. We match the best specialist for your case across Switzerland, not inside one clinic, arrange a second opinion and agree a transparent estimate before treatment starts. From there everything is in one pair of hands: a medical visa, flights and transfers, accommodation — including for companions, a personal medical interpreter at every appointment and a 24/7 assistant for any practical question. Your personal medical manager stays with the case from the first enquiry until you return home — and remains in touch afterwards: we follow results remotely and coordinate follow-up.
