My father passed away in SEP 2015 after being diagnosed in SEP 2014. The oncologist told ME: “Get a PET scan at 50-55, son, this runs in families”. My PCP said not to since it “would turbo charge other cancers like Leukemia and Prostate cancers.”. Thinking of ignoring him and paying out of pocket.
You can get a head-to-toe MRI done with a 3 Tesla MRI.
The best I found was a Siemens Skyra E11C 70cm Wide Bore MRI. The technology crammed into that beat other manufacturer’s MRIs.
That can effectively at around the 1 millimeter level and some have a series of wavelengths and filters that can see about anything concerning, without contrast.
That won’t kickstart any cancer, but I doubt the PET scan’s tracer does anything bad. I will say those tracer/contrasts for PET don’t find a wide variety of separate issues and sometimes only cancers the contrast is targeted toward, and not other cancers.
