Episode 8: What Oncologists Look for in the Radiology Report
Summary:
1. Staging - know where to look (based on primary site but also pathology)
2. Restaging - know what to expect (based on type of treatment - XRT, chemo, immunotherapy)
3. Big picture - same, better, worse; critical lesions that may require treatment (impending fractures, spinal cord involvement)
4. Chose words carefully - careful about using “progression” unless you are going to calculate that this meets RECIST criteria - consider using “increased tumor burden” instead
Host: Christopher Cerniglia, DO, ME, FAOCR. Associate Professor of Radiology, Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging & Intervention, UMMS Dept of Radiology.
Guest: Lacey J McIntosh DO, MPH. Assistant Professor of Radiology, Divisions of Abdominal Imaging and Nuclear Medicine, UMMS Dept of Radiology.
