Overview
- Appendix cancer may also be diagnosed using scintigraphy, Capsule endoscopy, Enteroscopy, Positron emission tomography (PET). Chromogranin A (CgA) and 5-HIAA (5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid) are among biochemical markers that might represent level of malignant cells activity in carcinoid syndrome.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Appendix cancer may also be diagnosed using the following diagnostic studies:[1]
- Somatostatin scintigraphy with 111-indium-octreotide
- Bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (99mTcMDP)
- Capsule endoscopy
- Enteroscopy
- Positron emission tomography (PET)
- The following are among biochemocal markers that might represent level of malignant cells activity in carcinoid syndrome.
