It makes no sense to show histological slides of standard colon cancers, but to
define an exact stage of a locally advanced NSCLC it is crucial to show and discuss
a CT-scan with a PET-scan in detail, if CT-PET-fusion is not already available .

A very useful consequence of these discussions between diagnostic/therapeutic
specialties is that it allows clinicians to learn about their abilities and limitations!
