Seeking expert opinion for a 62F with signet ring cell carcinoma of sigmoid colon diagnosed July 2025. She underwent surgery (LAR + hysterectomy + BSO) followed by chemotherapy (Dacotin + Capecitabine). Latest PET-CT Feb 2026 shows no liver, lung, brain metastasis and no residual primary lesion. However, there are FDG-avid peritoneal nodules (SUV ~7) with mild ascites, suggestive of post-op changes vs residual disease.
