Decision‐making in radiotherapy for the cancer patient: The American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria Project

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.
