It was just a quote. The case could be made that with a significant risk for ovarian CA, a gyn onc should at least be available. I don't disagree that the patient should be given the option of a gyn onc for this type of surgery. In practice, however, I find most women are happy to have them on standby. If I truly believe it is an ovarian cs, I send right to the oncologist, because they do a better job than I do At 09:50 PM 3/30/99 -0600, you wrote: >In message <199903310119.TAA30979@talk.obgyn.net> writes: >> The following is an excerpt from the NIH Consensus Development >> Conference Statement, April 5-7, 1994: >> >> "Women with ovarian masses who have been identified preoperatively as >> having a significant risk of ovarian cancer should be given the option >> of having their surgery performed by a gynecologic oncologist" >> > >So your position is that any "gynecologic oncologist" will do a better job >than >any run-of-the mill gynecologist? > >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- > >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Bob Woolley >St. Paul, Minnesota > >"Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, >with sniffles predominating." > > -- O.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
