Could a new liver lesion be ovarian cancer recurrence?

Question

Hi doctor,

I was treated for an ovarian cyst, which was initially diagnosed as CA ovary, but post-operation, one was like CA, and the other was identified as a lesion.

Now, in my CT PET scan, I have a lesion in the sixth segment of the liver and metabolic activity in the para-aortic lymph node. Doctors are saying it is a recurrence of cancer, but I want to check what kind of issue it is. Will it be a real cancer recurrence?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

According to your history and complaints, I can tell that the CT and PET scan you underwent detects exactly where the cancer cells are spreading and the macro and micro-localization of the spread.

Sometimes, after removal of the cancerous growth, some cells that are cancerous might stay or circulate in spots undetectable at that time. Thereby, mutating the others and multiplying afterward, which gets detected afterward. I recommend you promptly start the treatment according to your doctor's advice without wasting much time, as time is precious while treating.

All the best. Do not worry, you will be fine. Take care.

I hope this helps.

Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.

Thank you.
