A PET/CT SCAN CAN FIND CANCER ANYWHERE IN THE BODY; WE WILL DO A BIOPSY AND IF THE RESULTS SHOW CANCER THEN WE WILL TAKE MORE AND MORE BIOPSIES TO GET AN INCOMPLETE PICTURE OF WHERE IT HAS SPREAD; WHY NOT DO A PET/CT SCAN AFTER THE FIRST BIOPSY TO SEE EXACTLY WHERE IT HAS SPREAD INSTEAD OF CUTTING PEOPLE APART AND GUESSING? BECAUSE THIS IS HOW WE’VE ALWAYS DONE IT; A PET/CT SCAN IS FAR MORE EFFECTIVE FOR DETERMINING THE SPREAD OF CANCER VERSUS BIOPSIES AND IS MUCH LESS INJURIOUS TO THE PATIENT
