Ovarian Cancer

:

Diagnosis

Only a small number of ovarian cancers are found at an early stage because early cancers of the ovary often have no symptoms. Tumors are hard for even skilled doctors to find and tumors on the ovary cannot usually be found through the Pap test. While new blood tests may change this in the future, right now, ovarian cancer is difficult to find at its earliest stage.

PET scanning can help by evaluating the primary tumor and determining the stage of the cancer immediately after it is found so that the most appropriate therapy can be given.

A PET scan can show where tumor cells are growing, which helps your doctor determine the best course of treatment

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