Residual Active Disease

Question

Asked for Male, 65 Years

I was operated on 22nd June, 2018 for 1st stage cancer, that was detected on the right lateral border of my tongue. Although the infectious part was removed surgically, my PET Scan report indicates Residual Active Disease (RDA) - Clinical Correlation. I am attaching my PET Scan report to my query. Kindly advise on further steps that would need to be taken. Warm Regards, Dhanjisha Patel
