Abstract:
The American College of Radiology Task Force on Appropriateness Criteria was developed in 1993 with the major objective of creating the most credible patient care guidelines possible. Oncology-related clinical conditions addressed by the Task Force pertain to the diagnosis of suspected disease and, after disease is diagnosed, its staging, treatment, and follow-up to determine the effectiveness of therapy.
