In recent years, the adoption of a multidisciplinary approach to the care of patients with cancer has changed the landscape of oncologic practice. Using this model, surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and others work closely to determine the optimal approach to management.The key roles of oncologic imaging in this model are to provide accurate pretreatment staging of the tumor, to monitor the response to therapy, and to provide surveillance after curative treatment; thus, the radiologist has an important role in planning routine cancer care.
