Аннотация:The current issue of Journal of Oncology Practice is focused on multidisciplinary cancer care. It seems germane to begin the series with a case presentation. Jane Forbes (not her real name) is a 78-year-old woman who underwent annual screening mammography on January 29, 2010. She resides in a retirement community on the outskirts of a large southern city and is insured by Medicare and a secondary managed care organization. She describes her health as excellent except for well-managed hyperlipidemia and hypertension. The following timeline is based on detailed diary entries that Mrs. Forbes agreed to share with me.
