A member asked:
Can gastrointestinal cancer be picked up on an abdominal ct scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: But usually if a GI cancer were to be seen on a ct scan it would likely need to be fairly large. Smaller early cancers on the inside lining of the intestine are not well seen on ct scans.
