This commitment to state-of-the- “When we first opened our doors, we did so with a complete commitment to investing in the latest and best technology for cancer diagnosis and care,” says Dr. Gregory Echt, founder of the Lewisville Flower Mound Oncology Group. “Our in-house PET/CT scan allows us to detect and diagnose a wide variety of cancers, as well as establish the best treatment plan based on most accurately pinpointing the location of a tumor or cancer cells.” A PET/CT scan combines positron emission tomography (PET) and computerized tomography (CT) for the most advanced imaging possible. PET provides images of the body at a molecular level - showing cell abnormalities before they have had the chance to affect the anatomy. The CT scan provides a detailed scan of the internal anatomy of the body - showing changes in structure, as well as the exact location and size of an existing tumor. Oncologists utilize a PET/CT scan to diagnose cancer, determine the stage of cancer, and help put a treatment plan into place. It allows the doctor to determine the location of disease and whether or not it is localized or has spread. During treatment, a PET/CT scan allows oncologists to provide treatment to a precise location if radiation is required, and going forward, a PET/CT scan can help an oncologist to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. This type of technology is absolutely crucial for effective cancer treatment. “We are proud to be able to offer our patients access to the most cutting-edge equipment available, right here under one roof,” says Dr. Echt. “Cancer treatment is a commitment and our patients spend a lot of time with us. We want to make their experience as comfortable and effective as possible.” Established by leading radiation oncologist, Dr. Gregory Echt, The Lewisville/Flower Mound Oncology Group provides a full range of cancer treatment options including chemotherapy, radiation therapy (IMRT and IGRT), prostate seed implantation, MammoSite therapy, access to PET/CT scanner, hormonal therapy, and combination therapy.
