Solitary lymph node metastasis: treatment options
Posted: Mon Aug 16, 2021 11:03 am
Hi,
My latest PET scan lit up a lymph node in pelvic region (retroperitoneal lymph node along right obturator chain). The lymph node in question is 1.2 cm x 1.6 cm (SUVmax=5.8 ). There were no other findings in the PET scan. It has been four years since my first rectal cancer was fully treated. The radiologist calls this a recurrence unless proven otherwise. I have no symptoms.
Has anyone been treated for a solitary lymph node metastasis? If yes, please share details.
Online scientific papers do not have a clear recommendation. Some predict poor prognosis. Some predict good prognosis. My oncologist is still evaluating my results with an interdisciplinary team
