25. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS)
If your physician does find that there’s cancerous substance, they can use a test known as a somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) to ascertain where all of the cancerous cells are on your entire body. This evaluation does not work for all of the tumor types listed above, but may be useful for some. The procedure starts with a compound octreotide, that’s bound using a radioactive substance and injected into the blood flow. A few hours after the physicians can use a particular camera giving them a highlighted appearance in the issue areas, in addition to help determine the best treatment program.
