The answer is PET (positron emission tomography) scan. It lets doctors measure a variety of activity
including blood flow, blood volume, oxygen usage, tissue pH (acidity), glucose
(sugar) metabolism, and drug activity. PET is very beneficial in watching the
activity of cancerous tumors. Because malignant cells grow at such a fast degree,
they absorb more sugar than normal cells. Sugar can be added to a radioactive

sugar flows. This way the doctor can give a preview into how aggressive a tumor
is or how its growth is slowed by treatment remedies.
