Radiologists are essential in cancer care, with roles evolving beyond image interpretation. This symposium shows how radiologists can influence patient outcomes across the care continuum. Focusing on breast and lung cancer, we’ll explore similarities and differences in pathways, lessons from screening programmes, and strategies for collaboration and leadership in multidisciplinary teams.
• Breast cancer: Screening to survivorship
• Lung cancer: Early detection and treatment
• Comparative insights: Cross-pathway knowledge
Learning objectives: Describe radiology’s role in both pathways; compare screening challenges; identify strategies for impact in tumour boards; From screening to surgical therapy: implications and innovative approaches; apply best practices and innovations to optimise workflow and outcomes.
