I got a PET scan done last week. It says no malignancy seen. Are there any type of cancer cells which go undected in PET scan. I hv got all the symptoms of oral cancer for the last two yrs. I took the test myself . But It is negative. Thats why I am asking you to guide me on this.
Dear Rajeev,
Certainly there are some types of cancer, undetectable by PET. Oral cancer should be investigated by a head-and-neck specialist.
In the summer of 2008 my father's diagnosis was kidney cancer with metastasis in lower spine and liver. He was treated with radiation on spine and then interferon. Everybody thought he would be dead by spring 2009, because he was in very sick condition. His weight was 45 kg with heights of 173 cm. We stopped interferon and after that in April he started to walk, and gained 10 kg back and has very good appetite. He had one more tomography and it did not show metastasis in liver, but still tumor in kidney and ruined spine. But he doesn't have pain. Could he be in remission? Interferon helped ? Or wrong diagnosis? Thank you
Your father can be in remission but not in liver. Liver mts diagnoses was probably wrong.
