A member asked:

Pituitary gland. 2014 27.8 2015 26.1 is this cancerous and do i need mri/do i go back in 3mths to draw blood again? nothing else came back high.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Standard approaches: Unlikely to have cancer, but pituitary adenomas could be present, and perhaps you have non-secreting process. Usual approach to check MRI studies over period of time, and get blood studies based on MRI and clinical changes.

I had one worm-shaped blood clot in my urine 2 weeks ago. My urologist wants to perform a cystoscopy and abdom/pelvic CT to rule out cancer. However, Ive had numerous CTs over the years incl. one just 8 months ago. Can MRI and/or US be substituted?
