gyn onc

I think the important concept is appropriate care by the appropriate physician. Some amount of trust is necessary in the primary physician to use prudent judgement to make this decision. Certainly, in a stage 3 or 4 ovarian ca, a gyn onc is invaluable. But at the other side of the argument, are patients that have self-selected tertiary care, and had a TAH and BSO for a benign small cyst that could have easily been done laparoscopically.

BTW, the malignancy index seems interesting. Is it possible someone could forward the indices used and their calculation?? ----------------------------

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.
