How to Transfer Records & Get an Evaluation at University

Visiting an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center requires organized medical records to ensure multidisciplinary tumor board review can proceed without delay.

1
Request Original Pathology Slides:Ask your diagnostic hospital pathology laboratory for unstained histology slides or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks for second opinion re-review.
2
Acquire High-Resolution DICOM Imaging:Obtain raw DICOM files on CD or via secure electronic image sharing (Ambra/PowerShare) for all contrast CT, PET/CT, and MRI scans.
3
Gather Molecular & NGS Next-Generation Sequencing:Compile FoundationOne, Guardant360, or institutional genomic panels to assess actionable alterations (e.g. EGFR, ALK, KRAS, BRAF, BRCA, HER2).
