Radiologist

• MRI
  PET/CT can provide early diagnosis and accurate identification of whether or where the cancer has spread. During and after treatment, PET/CT can assess whether the treatment has been successful, by showing a decrease in glucose utilization by the tumor. PET/CT can be used for restaging, and provides early detection and localization of cancer recurrence. It can be critical in evaluation of patients in whom previous surgery or radiation therapy has resulted in scarring and distortion of normal anatomy which can hinder evaluation by CT or MRI.

• Radiation Therapy
  Chemotherapy is any treatment involving the use of drugs to kill cancer cells.  Cancer chemotherapy may consist of single drugs or combinations of drugs and can be administered through a vein, injected into a body cavity, or delivered orally in the form of a pill.  Chemotherapy is different from surgery or radiation therapy in that the cancer-fighting drugs circulate in the blood to parts of the body where the cancer may have spread and can kill or eliminate cancer cells at sites great distances from the original cancer.  As a result, chemotherapy is considered s systemic treatment.
