Radiation Oncologist 's  Response
Hello,

Elevated blood work suggests that cancer has come back if I am the treating oncologist, I would like to do a PETCT scan to assess the disease status to be certain about cancer returning and then take things further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Jatin Bhatia, Radiation Oncologist
