It can depend on the pathology tests being done also. For instance, there is a test for Breast Cancer with the acronym FISH that only a few labs in the U.S. have the capability of testing for.

My daughter is a cancer patient at the James Cancer Center at OSU. It's funny because she had surgery there in Columbus, but her tumor was sent to California to be examined AFTER being examined in Columbus. Thank goodness that it was sent away, because the lab in Columbus did not report finding cancer, but the lab in California did find the cancer. Having two labs look at the specimen is a great idea.....just my opinion! Good luck to you!!!

It is very common to have pathology results confirmed by another source.
