Hi,
I had an appointment with the doctor today and I am so confused. My Tumor Ca 27-29 is now 60 from 282, so I though the catscan would be better. I have copied word for word the report of the ct scan, I don't know how to take this. I asked my doctor how the lesion on my pancreas was and he said it was the same but the report is different. Any input will be greatly apprieciated! her is the report.
In the abdomen, the diffuse fatty infiltration is less prominent than on the prior examination but these appear to have increased in number in the interval. For example,on image 77 of series 2 there are four lesions measuring up to 2.7 cm in diameter which are clearly visualized compared to a single lesion on the prior examination. On image 82 of series 2 there are three lesions seen in segment 2 compared to a single lesion on the prior examination. On image 82 of series 2 there are three lesions seen in segment 2 compared to a single lesion on the prior examination and these lesions range from 2 to 3.2 cm in diameter. New large lesions are seen in segment 4B of the liver on images 96 and 103. The former measures 1.8 cm in diameter and the latter measures 3.4 cm in diameter. There are new calcifications visualized just above the gallbladder fossa as well as calcifications seen in segmant 7 and 8 on the prior examination. These likely are due to prior treated tumor. There is no periportal lynphadenopathy seen and the portal caval lymph node seen on the prior examonation are not clearly or discretly visualized here. The hypodense lesion in the tail of the pancreas is seen on image 99 od seris 2 and has increased in size to 3.0 x 2.3 cm.There is no dilation of the pancreatic duct. The portaland splenic veins remain patent although the splenic vein appers attenuated as it passes posterior to the pancreatic tail mass.
