This collaboration will provide international patients access to expert interpretation and the best application of targeted therapies and research, as well as to clinical trials for both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.

MORE Health, through its prestigious network of tertiary and quaternary Academic Medical Centers and esteemed physician specialists, delivers a sophisticated version of medical second opinion for its patients called a collaborative diagnosis or Co-Diagnosis®. The Co-Diagnosis® service is delivered by a full-featured, intuitive and HIPAA-compliant online platform, empowering physicians in the U.S. and abroad to efficiently deliver a diagnosis and treatment plan to patients in their home countries.

With a new patient referral agreement in place, MORE Health's international patients now have access to advanced cancer treatment at City of Hope, which is in a region with one of the largest Chinese communities in the U.S. City of Hope provides a unique, culturally sensitive and supportive experience for patients and their families throughout their medical journey. 

City of Hope is a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center and a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Its translational research and personalized treatment protocols advance care throughout the world. Founded in 1913, City of Hope is a leader in BMT and immunotherapy such as CAR T cell therapy. City of Hope's BMT program is the only program in the nation that has had one-year survival above the expected rate for 14 consecutive years, according to an analysis by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. This means that the institution achieved outcomes that exceeded clinical expectations; this is especially significant because the center traditionally manages the most difficult cases. It also consistently exceeds the national average in patient survivorship. Learn more at www.cityofhope.org
