Please research this and understand the tests and its shortcomings. Inflammation, infection, pneumonia will light up a PET among many other conditions . PETs have over a 30% false positive rate and have been the reason for misdiagnosis, unneeded surgeries etc...the ONLY way to identify cancer cells is a biopsy. I agree that they have many false positives and said so. I'm proof - we thought I also had lung cancer untill my RO figured out my broken ribs from a motorcycle accident is what was showing in the lung area. What I said they don't have is false negatives. If there is cancer it WILL show. Chris Last edited by chrisclu; 04-16-2011 01:08 PM. Stage 4 squamous cell tonsil cancer. Two lymph nodes involved surgically removed before source found to be tonsil. Implant radiation right on tonsil, regular mask radiation therapy for two months and a final Implant radiation. All clear confirmed by PET scans for 6 years.
