Study Notes
Ultimate Goal of Cancer Treatment
- The ultimate goal of treating a cancer patient is to improve survival rates and quality of life.
Managing Patients with Suspected Ovarian Cancer
- The cornerstones in managing patients with suspected ovarian cancer include using the Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI) and ultrasound rules.
International Ovarian Tumour Analysis (IOTA) Group Ultrasound Rules
- The IOTA group ultrasound rules aim to standardize the description of ovarian masses to improve diagnostic accuracy.
Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI)
- RMI is more suitable for use in patients with an ovarian mass and no clear benign characteristics.
- RMI should be used when there is a need for pre-operative staging and individualized treatment planning.
Purpose of Providing Best Evidence
- The purpose of providing currently available best evidence to health care professionals is to improve patient outcomes by informing medical decisions.
Pre-Operative Staging and Treatment Planning
- Ultrasound and RMI can be used for pre-operative staging and individualized treatment planning.
