Recurrence lung nodules/lymph nodes: (PET) CT vs. markers
Posted: Mon May 20, 2019 12:50 am
Hi everyone,
I am asking for my dad, he had surgery for CRC 3 years ago (Stage 2C).
On the latest CT appeared 2 lung nodules and 2 increased lymph nodes.
After CT - he did CEA, CA 19-9, etc. and all markers are in the limit. (CEA was indicator at discovery).
It follows to have a PET CT to clarify.
I was wondering if someone else knows about correlation with blood markers.
Question especially for people with lung nodules, if they want to share.
Thank you,
CV
