Second Opinion: Seeking a second opinion from another oncologist or cancer center. Availability of Clinical Trials: Participation in clinical trials that are only available at certain institutions. Proximity to Family: Moving closer to family members for emotional support during treatment. Rehabilitation Services: Transferring to a facility that provides rehabilitation or palliative care services.
