I got the results of my PET scan this afternoon and I was amazed at the results. My oncologist said that the tumor had shrunk about 60-70% from its original size. Neoadjuvant treatment was a great success! The original scan is displayed in the top pane and the tumor is depicted as a bright yellow/orange mass near the center of the image (circled). The follow up scan is displayed in the bottom pane and shows a dramatic reduction in size. The two bright areas in the top portion of the image are considered physiologic.
