It is advicable to get a PET CT before the biopsy. It will help assessing the disease status at present. It will also help in identifying most accessible location from where biopsy can be taken.
Next Steps
Adviced to check renal function test and blood glucose level and go ahead with whole body FDG PET CT scan prior to biopsy.
