Is pet scan accurate? diagnosed with rectal cancer. did a pet to see extent. only tumor in rectum seen. biopsy showed 3 out of 18 nodes +.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rectal cancer: A pet/ct scan is accurate in the diagnosis and staging of rectal cancer and whether it has spread to lymph nodes or other areas of the body. However your colorectal surgeon and oncologist are best qualified to answer your question.
