Since 2005, 18F-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography (18FDG PET-CT) has been recommended for all patients with potentially radically treatable disease as part of the routine lung cancer staging process 1. The Leeds Teaching Hospital (Leeds, UK) lung cancer MDT is a regional centre with an approximate workload of 500 patients with lung cancer per year. Within the lung cancer MDT, concern was raised regarding a series of patients referred for surgical resection who had a nonmalignant diagnosis at lung resection. It was decided to audit patients referred for surgical resection to determine the frequency of a benign diagnosis at resection. Standard practice within the lung cancer MDT … ER -
