How PET Helps | Application in Oncology

Application in Oncology

For breast cancer - PET is a painless alternative to dissection for screening patients referred for partial mastectomy. PET spares an estimated 75% of patients from undergoing dissection. PET also has potential for screening certain populations of women, including those with a strong family of breast cancer, young patients with dense breasts, patients with fibrocystic disease or patients who've had previous inconclusive needle aspirations. <Back>
