Re: [MOL] cyfra21-1 or cytokeratins

Joe:  Pls. call The National Cancer Inst. @ 1 800-4-cancer, they
will be able to readily give you the update on Pet Scans and cyfra21-1. 
Pls. understand that not many hospitals have a Pet Scan Machine; so you
may want to ask NCI if they have a list of the hospitals nearest you that
has this equipment.  Good luck and let us know how you make out. 
Your friend, Lillian

I have heard that a blood test referred to as cyfra21-1 could detect
recurring lung cancers.  I have had state 1 non small cell lung cancer,
had a lobectomy performed and have been cancer free almost three years.
I am interested in learning about any blood tests or other tests such as
PET tests that can detect recurring tumors.  If anyone has information
about these or other tests, p;ease e-mail me at jtpat1@monmouth.com.
