Ovarian cancer — difficulties in monitoring response

American studies than in UK series likely reflects greater variation in practice standards in the USA. Review work should ideally occur within the context of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting. Such work is time-consuming and requires the attendance of key radiologists, pathologists, surgeons, physicians and paramedical staff, as well as the support of administrators and clerical staff. Notes, films and slides must all be available and in this forum clinical and pathological information is often brought to light which resolves problems, downgrades the clinical impact of radiological uncertainty or else discussion helps to form management or investigation plans to respond to this. There is little reported research on the value of such meetings but such as it is the data are clear. Clinicians place high value on time spent within such meetings and they are timeeffective for radiologists.
