Summary:1. Staging - know where to look (based on primary site but also pathology)2. Restaging - know what to expect (based on type of treatment - XRT, chemo, immunotherapy)3. Big picture - same, better, worse; critical lesions that may require treatment (impending fractures, spinal cord involvement)4. Chose words carefully - careful about using “progression” unless you are going to calculate that this meets RECIST criteria - consider using “increased tumor burden” instead
