Treatment Follow-Up

Your doctor will schedule you for routine follow-up visits, depending on the stage of the cancer. Your doctors may order follow up imaging tests or second look surgeries. If the cancer does return, it is important that additional treatment begin immediately.

PET is the most useful test that you can have when doctors are staging or re-staging your cancer because it is more accurate than CT or any other test.

Imaging with PET is also critical for monitoring if the cancer cells have returned and if treatment should be re-started. Before PET, it was extremely difficult to monitor patients to see if the cancer had come back. Earlier imaging tests might not see the cancer as sensitively as PET, which could result in a delay of further treatment.

Call Care Imaging at 905-712-9500 if you have bladder and kidney cancer and would like to discuss whether PET could be useful in your care.
