Mgt: Are your muscle enzymes elevated? Have you had muscle biopsy and EMG? I would suggest a referral to a specialist.

In past 3years I have had 3 CT scans and 1 pet/ct scan all negative. Do I need more scans to rule out lung cancer? Still have fatigue and muscle loss

Does a negative pet/ct exclude lung cancer as a cause of my non specific symptoms including fatigue, muscle loss and night sweats. Thank you.

Would you expect a small cell lung cancer that was causing fatigue and muscle loss to be picked up on a low dose CT scan.

1 doctor answer • 3 doctors weighed in

Fatigue, excessive sweats & muscle loss for over 4 years. Could it be paraneoplastic syndrome from lung cancer. Ex smoker. HR CT unremarkable Jul 2018
