Now he been going through the radionulcide therapy in Tata.But recently he is getting stomach problem like obstructions and we have done whole body Cect scan. R And report shows the following impressions: Small polypoidal lesion seen involving the small bowel probably distal ileum. Large heterogeneous SOL with solid and cystic area seen involving the right lobe of the liver with segments vll and vlll. Cholelithiasis noticed. Also we have done FNAC test in that it's shows no malignant cancer cells. We need the detail explanation on this and also what steps we should take for the better treatment. Your suggestions will be very helpful for us. Thanks in advance.

Hello As he had undergone right hemicolectomy for NET 2 yrs back, present CT report suggests a recurrence/metastasis. Rightly he is advised PET CT I hope. FNAC may be negative on malignant cells initially. The next step would depend on - PET CT report, his functional status, other reports and discussion in multi-disciplinary meet ( which includes specialists from various specialities). But there are various treatment options as it is a NET. I can't give you a pin pont diagnosis and treatment right now.
