A member asked:
Would a ct contrast scan and x-ray (which was done before i had an appendectomy) have shown if i had cervical cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Ct scan would only show cancer if there were a large mass. To check for cervical cancer, you need to see a gynecologist. They will probably start with a Pap smear and a good exam. Hope this helps!
