What is the development of oncological disease?
When we do some oncology and the scan is repeated with pictures, we always compare with previous scans to see what happened in that period. For example: the diagnosis was made and a nodule was found in the lung. Then finally, after two months, this node swells. Then there was progression, the disease was growing. Compared to some previous examinations, the disease is active and growing.
