# Diagnostic Dilemma in Intra-abdominal Cancers

## TL;DR

This paper discusses the challenges in diagnosing intra-abdominal cancers and highlights the need for better frameworks to improve clinical decision-making.

## Contribution

The paper emphasizes the importance of structured working frameworks in addressing diagnostic dilemmas in intra-abdominal cancers.

## Key findings

- Diagnostic limitations create an 'iceberg-like' inaccuracy in identifying intra-abdominal cancers.
- Clinical decision-making is hindered by the inherent variability of current diagnostic methods.
- A structured framework could help mitigate some diagnostic dilemmas despite technological advancements.

## Abstract

A diagnostic dilemma exists in cancer care, especially in intraabdominal lesions. Despite the diagnostic means available so far, clinical decision-making is practically difficult due to diagnostic limitations. The inherent variation of any means influences decision-making. There is an iceberg-like diagnostic inaccuracy in revealing the specific condition or disease. This clinical decision-making gap is worrisome.

Besides technological and bio-molecular advancements, the structured working framework would be protective and persuasive in mitigating dilemmas to some extent.
