Do all breast cancer patients need to do a PET scan? In this video, Dr. Jay Anam (Breast cancer surgeon, SSO Hospital, Mumbai) gives an answer to this question in detail.
0:41 - What is PET Scan?
PET Scan is a metabolic or biochemical scan that is done in the full body and this helps in giving some information about the metabolic and biochemical functions of every organ.
1:01 - What is done in PET Scan?
There is a special radioactive dye that is given through IV in intravenous. The dye spreads in full body and where ever there is more metabolic activity, the dye stops there. After that, there is a scan of the body. In the scan, that radioactive dye lights up and that is seen in the scan.
1:31 - Why is PET Scan used in Cancer?
Whenever there is cancer, due to PET Scan the radioactive dye stops in that particular organ that has cancer. The metabolic activity increases in that particular area of the organ where the cancer cells multiply in speed. For the confirmation of cancer, a biopsy is needed. Your doctor will do a few investigations to find out whether it is cancer or not.
