| Article Title: | ACR Appropriateness Criteria non-invasive clinical staging of bronchogenic carcinoma |
| Abstract: | In order to appropriately manage patients with lung cancer, it is necessary to properly stage the tumor. The ACR Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed every 3 years by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development and review include an extensive analysis of current medical literature from peer-reviewed journals and the application of a well-established consensus methodology (modified Delphi) to rate the appropriateness of imaging and treatment procedures by the panel. In those instances in which evidence is lacking or not definitive, expert opinion may be used to recommend imaging or treatment. Copyright © 2014 American College of Radiology.
