Please tell me, could a ct tap show cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: I'm not sure what a "ct tap" is. I assume it's a typo for "ct scan". Ct scans can show some types of cancer, but the ability to find cancer depends on the type of cancer and specifics about the type of ct scan (such as whether it uses contrast).
