The MDRC seeks volunteer reviewers for an update to our PET report of
1996.
POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET) as a diagnostic
test in selected cancers (head & neck, lung cancer staging,
solitary pulmonary nodules, breast, and colorectal) and Alzheimer's
disease. The client for this report is the VHA Chief Patient Care
Services Officer.
For this review we need expertise in systematic review methodology
and in each clinical content area. The report is approximately 90
pages, including references. As this is a report update, expanded
decriptions of methodology and background for each clinical condition are
referenced to the first assessment on PET (1996).
The first report may be downloaded from our website at:
http://www.va.gov/resdev/prt
Participating reviewers will be acknowledged in the introductory pages of
the report and receive courtesy copies of the final report.
Reviewers will receive the reports by email or by overnight express
and will return them by same at our expense.
Please contact us via Email if you would like to participate in
this process. Those interested in participating as a reviewer should
respond by the end of this week.
We need reviewer comments on the report by Jan. 30.
Thanks in advance!
