My follow-up scan after cancer treatment says “no evidence of recurrence.” Do I need a second opinion?

Post-treatment scans are among the most common reasons patients and oncology teams seek an independent review. Even when the primary report is reassuring, a structured NI-RADS-scored read gives the oncology team an explicit framework score rather than a narrative impression, which can be particularly useful when comparing across visits or when a finding is borderline. An independent review adds a second perspective on whether any feature warrants closer attention at the next multidisciplinary team meeting.
