What is meant when a group of consultants discuss biopsy results
Hello and thank you for your post.
I am unsure of your situation, and whether you have had a recent biopsy If it is the case that the biopsy results are known (whether it is cancer or not) it will usually be discussed whether treatment is needed and needs to be planned at an MDT (multidisciplinary team) meeting.
This takes place once a week and is a meeting made up of a variety of health professionals involved in treating and caring for patients, such as consultants who are surgeons, and cancer specialists, as well as nurses, and people who are involved in diagnosing such as pathologists and radiographers.
I hope this helps a little, if you want to ask more questions or talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline feel free to contact us again. The freephone number to call is 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open between 9am and 5 pm Monday to Friday,
Take care all the best
Jemma
