Who this guide is for
A cancer diagnosis brings hard, time-pressured decisions. This guide is for people who want a senior second opinion, a multidisciplinary review of their case, or access to oncology subspecialists at a leading Chinese cancer centre — and who want an honest account of when that is worth pursuing and when it is not.
Why Beijing Cancer Hospital
Beijing Cancer Hospital (Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute), founded in 1976, is a Grade 3A specialised cancer centre and a National Cancer Clinical Research Center, recognised by the Union for International Cancer Control as one of China's top academic cancer centres. It works through a multidisciplinary team (MDT) model — surgery, radiation, medical oncology and pathology reviewing a case together — with particular strength in gastrointestinal cancers, breast cancer, lung cancer and lymphoma.
What coordination we offer
For cancer cases, what we coordinate is access and review, not treatment:
- Organising your records, imaging and pathology into a clear brief for review
- Arranging a senior oncology consultation or a multidisciplinary (MDT) second opinion
- Coordinating pathology or imaging re-review where helpful
- Bilingual support and an English summary of the specialists' assessment

An honest view: is this right for you?
Cancer care is continuous and complex, so this decision deserves care.
It can genuinely help if: you want a senior second opinion before starting or changing treatment, your diagnosis or staging is uncertain, you want an MDT to look at a difficult case together, or you are exploring options your home system hasn't offered.
It is usually not the right path if: you are in active, time-critical treatment where continuity and proximity to your home team matter most, or you are acutely unwell. For most people, the value here is a high-quality second opinion to inform decisions made with their own oncologist — not relocating cancer treatment abroad lightly.
What it costs
A consultation or MDT review fee is paid directly to the hospital and depends on the departments involved; any treatment, if pursued, is quoted separately by the hospital. Hospital fees are always separate from, and paid directly to, the hospital. Our coordination starts from $250, with the breakdown shown before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Can you guarantee a better outcome?
No. No honest service can promise a cancer outcome. What a second opinion can do is give you a clearer, senior view to inform the decisions you make with your own doctors.
Do I have to travel?
Not always — some reviews can be coordinated from your records and pathology; others are better in person. We advise based on your case.
Who makes the treatment decisions?
Your licensed oncologists. We coordinate access and translation; we do not practise medicine or make clinical decisions.
How we work, and our limits
China MedPass is an independent Beijing-based coordination service. We are not an official representative of any hospital unless explicitly stated, and we do not practise medicine. Diagnosis and all treatment decisions are made by licensed hospital physicians. We make no medical promises and no guarantee of outcome or appointment timing. Cancer is a serious, sensitive area, and we will tell you honestly when travelling for a review is not in your interest. We name the actual doctor you will see, show the real price, organise your records, and stand next to you in the hospital.
