Radiologists?

Why is radiologists in the list of pathways? I have never heard of a radiologist interested in palliative medicine. - Robert Badgett 20:48, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I can give you human references, but I'm currently seeing it give a great deal of benefit to my cat, Mr. Clark, who has an inoperable squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. Howard C.
