Question
Chapter 7, Problem 2COQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The types of cancers that are most easily detected by PET scan procedure and the types of cancers that are not readily detected.
Introduction: The FDG-PET scan is a method of imaging in which processes occurring in the body can be viewed as three-dimensional images. PET scan is used for the detection of cancerous cells by radioactively labeling glucose with FDG.
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the ability to detect cancer by a PET scan is related to the level of oxygen in a tumor.

Mutated cells begin to grow and divide uncontrollably forming abnormal cells known as tumors. Tumors can be classified as small cell lung cancer (SCLC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Tumor invades nearby tissues (Lung tissue, blood vessels, and lymph nodes.) Cause structural damage. Cancer cells break away from the primary tumor and travel through bloodstream or lymphatic system to the parts of the body. (Common sites of metastasis liver, bones, brain and lung tissues.
