Hello, I think the best screening test is the dotatate PET.
They discovered it with that technique in my wife's case, the rest of the CT scans and MRIs showed nothing.
In our case, the endocrinologist requested the PET scan.

Thank you. Most people here have said the same about CT's. It sounds like it isn't sensitive enough a lot of the time. Today I asked my internist for a PET. His answer was, that he doesn't order them. He said oncologists do, but I'd need a cancer diagnoses to see an oncologist. So we go around and around. Anyway, thanks again.
