All participants should have ample experience with this complex and heterogeneous group of patients. In the case of a treatment plan with curative intent, the surgeon proposes a strategy with as little harm as possible.

The radiologist is frequently asked to specify some aspects of scans that were presented earlier. In cases of non‐curative treatment, the initiative lies with the medical oncologist.
