CT urogram

[NLondon43]

Hi all, when my husband first had symptoms synonymous with Pca he was sent for a CT urogram, we never knew his PSA result, this came back OK. 9 months later an MRI and a subsequent biopsy showed he was Gleason 9 with widespread bone metastasis. Has anyone else had a CT urogram which picked up Pca because I’m haunted by the idea that he was offered an inappropriate scan? Thanks in advance.

A CT urogram is not used to detect cancer. It can be used e.g. to find the reason for urinary obstruction. cancerresearchuk.org/about-...

Hi GP24, thanks for your reply, most things I’ve read suggest it’s used for all things urology related other than cancer. I’ve no idea why our doctor sent my husband for this scan but alas, we can’t turn back time.
