2025 CAR指南:癌症诊断影像学转诊
Abstract
The Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) Cancer Expert Panel is made up of physicians from the disciplines of radiology, medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, family medicine/general practitioner oncology, a patient advisor, and an epidemiologist/guideline methodologist. The Expert Panel developed a list of 29 clinical/diagnostic scenarios, of which 16 pointed to other CAR guidelines. A rapid scoping review was undertaken to identify systematically produced referral guidelines that provide recommendations for one or more of the remaining 13 scenarios. Recommendations from 21 guidelines and contextualization criteria in the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) for guidelines framework were used to develop the recommendation for these scenarios. During recommendation formulation, one additional scenario was mapped to an existing CAR guideline scenario, leaving 12 scenarios with new recommendations. The guideline focuses on cancer diagnosis and does not cover cancer staging, follow-up, and surveillance. This guideline presents the methods of development and the referral recommendations for suspected pancreatic cancer, suspected liver cancer, incidental liver mass, incidental colon mass or suspected colon cancer, suspected anal cancer, suspected penile cancer, suspected cervical cancer, suspected endometrial/uterine cancer, suspected vulvar cancer, suspected vaginal cancer, suspected haematologic malignancies, and suspected skin cancer. The guideline also points to other CAR guidelines for suspected neck, thyroid, brain, lung, intracardiac/pericardial, esophageal/gastric, renal, adrenal, bladder, testicular, prostate and ovarian cancers, suspected soft tissue mass or tumour, suspected bone tumour, suspected bone tumour --myeloma, suspected spine tumours, and incidental lung cancer.

Introduction
Beginning in March 2024, an Expert Panel (EP) made up of physicians from the disciplines of radiology, medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, family medicine/general practitioner oncology, a patient advisor, and an epidemiologist/ guideline methodologist met to develop a new set of recommendations specific to referral pathways for suspected and incidental cancers. Through discussion (via a virtual meeting) followed by offline communication, the EP developed a list of 29 clinical/diagnostic scenarios to be covered by this guideline. These recommendations are intended primarily for referring clinicians (eg, family physicians, specialty physicians, nurse practitioners); however, they may also be used by radiologists, individuals/patients, and patient representatives.

Our methods describing the guideline development process, including the rapid scoping review to identify the evidence base, has been published in CMAJ Open 1 and an editorial to this series of guideline publications is available in CARJ . 2 The application of well-established scoping review and rapid review guidance (JBI, 3 Cochrane Handbook, 4 Cochrane Rapid Review Methods Group 5 ) and guideline methodology (ie, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation or GRADE 6,7 ) were used to identify the evidence-base and to guide the Expert Panel in determining the strength and direction of the recommendations for each clinical scenario (Table 1). The quality of conduct and reporting of the included guidelines identified in the scoping review were evaluated with the AGREE-II checklist, 8 using a modified scoring system. In instances where guidelines were lacking, expert consensus was used to develop the recommendation. Contextualization to the Canadian health care system was considered for each recommendation, with discussion around the factors found in the Evidence to Decision framework in GRADE for guidelines (eg, balance of desirable and undesirable outcomes, values and preferences, resources implications). 7
A systematic search for guidelines (with an a priori defined inclusion criteria) was run in Medline and Embase on May 25, 2024. The search was limited to publications from 2019 onward (Supplemental Appendix 1). Supplemental searching included the following national radiology and/or guideline groups: the American College of Radiology and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Recommendations for each clinical scenario were formulated over one virtual meeting on October 19th, 2024. External review and feedback were obtained from radiologists, an emergency physician, a family physician, a spine surgeon, and a nurse practitioner. The full guideline can be found on the CAR website (www.car.ca).
Results
## Systematic Scoping Review
A total of 6217 records were identified through the electronic database and 2 additional records were added from the supplemental search. Twenty-one guidelines were included (Figure 1). Potentially relevant guidelines published in languages other than English can be found in Supplemental Appendix 2. A list of excluded records with justifications for exclusion is available upon request. Most guidelines were rated as moderate or high quality, using the modified AGREE-II checklist 8 (Supplemental Appendix 3). The number of guidelines included per clinical/ diagnostic scenario ranged from 0 to 7, with a median of 2 guidelines per clinical scenario.
Recommendations
Additional details of the included guidelines, including which imaging modalities (eg, computed tomography [CT], magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], radiograph [XR], ultrasound [US]) that were discussed can be found in Supplemental Appendix 4.
A guideline is intended to guide and not be an absolute rule. Medical care is complex and should be based on evidence, a clinician’s expert judgment, the patient’s circumstances, values, preferences, and resource availability. Not all imaging modalities are available in all clinical environments, particularly in rural or remote areas of Canada. Decisions about patient transfer, use of alternative imaging or serial clinical examination and observation can be complex and difficult. Therefore, the expected benefits of recommended imaging, risks of travel, patient preference, and other factors must be considered. The guideline recommendations are designed to assist the choice of imaging modality in situations where it is deemed clinically necessary to obtain imaging.
Unless the panel agreed a specific protocol is required to optimize patient care/diagnosis, the recommendations do not specify when contrast should or should not be used, as this decision may vary based on clinical presentation, regional practice preferences, preference of the referring clinician, radiologist, and/or the patient, and resource availability.
We reviewed relevant recommendations related to the 13 clinical/diagnostic scenarios previously published by radiology and specialty societies, including: the Canadian Association of Radiologists, 9 the American College of Radiology, 10 American
