Does an MDT meeting mean there is reason to worry?

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum, I am hoping to be able to talk to some people and perhaps gain a bit of insight to what is going on.

I am 26, and about 6 weeks ago had a suspicious mole removed from my upper back. This of course was sent of for biopsy. At this point I was not really worried.

Today, I finally get a bit more information from the consultants secetary in that the results have come back, however before I can be told anymore they need to have an MDT meeting. I looked into what an MDT meeting is, and searches primarily include "cancer patients".

Does this mean they have found something, or is this standard practise for all mole removals?

Thanks

    I have recently had two procedures,  last January and earlier this month for possible  prostate and bladder cancer.

    Following the first procedure and biopsy I was advised the biopsy was negative. However because my symptoms continued to exist I had the same procedure a second time. Following that I was advised the result was still negative. My Consultant then said he would bring it to the next MDT to hear if there might be an alternative diagnosis or remedy to the problem.
