A member asked:

Results of pet scan "initial staging of lymphoma" and "extensive adenophy in the neck, chest and abdomen" how serious is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jocelyn Tan answered

Abnormal PET scan: It would help if we have the results of a node or marrow biopsy. Not all adenopathy is malignant.
