Seems to me it would be the other way around because I would not think they would want to do any invasive proceedure if a person already had blood clots. The only problem with the PET scan is it can not tell you exactly the type of cancer and there are different kinds, i.e. small cell and that will give a better idea of prognosis. I am really not sure that PET scans are really that much more expensive than biopsy but I know that personally I would not allow a biopsy unless I had a PET scan first even if I had to pay for it myself but that is me and nothing is 100%.
