A PET scan also means additional radiation - another reason besides the cost to be conservative with their use. My husband's ENT said that the subject of follow-up scans was a hot topic at all the conferences he attended this year. Assuming a continued lack of signs and symptoms, my husband will have a chest xray at his 2 year followup, in addition to the physical and endoscopic exam.
