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 tests and procedures to determine if the cancer has returned. 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.

Before PET, it was extremely difficult to monitor patients to see if the cervical cancer had spread. Other imaging tests might not see the cancer as sensitively as PET, which could result in a delay of further treatment. Imaging with PET in order to look for recurrence is critical to find it at its earliest stage.

PET can also be used to image tumor response to therapy. For post surgery and other treatments, PET is extremely important for monitoring if the cancer cells have returned and help determine if treatment should be re-started.

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