The Health Care Financing Administration will hold a meeting to present and discuss the current medical and scientific evidence regarding the clinical use of positron emission tomography scans for cancers of the head and neck, colorectal malignancy, melanoma, lymphoma, and brain tumors. HCFA intends this meeting to provide assistance in reviewing the state of evidence for PET scanning in malignancies, as well as an understanding of the viewpoints of stakeholders with an interest in PET coverage policy. The meeting represents an aspect of the evolving process for making coverage reviews more open and responsive to the public.
