"Alex knows more about cancer than anyone I’ve met including doctors. He actually thinks and personalizes treatment for his clients. Doctors are not trained to think and stuck in the past. Highly recommend CTOAM."

A cancer diagnosis based on CT scan has the potential to be completely wrong – up to 30% of the time!
That means that 30% of the time people will either be told they don’t have cancer when they do... or people will be told they do have cancer when they don’t, based on CT scans alone.
So, right off the bat, when your doctor is telling you, "You have cancer" based on a CT scan, it’s going to be impossible for you to have confidence in what’s actually happening in your body and what your next steps should be.

"Alex was just so positive – we enjoyed our phone calls with him because we talked to him, we were always like, 'okay, we can do this!' There was always hope after we talked to him. There was always something we could be doing more of. You know, drink your green tea, take all your nutraceuticals…there was just always, always something positive."

You’re in shock.
And you just want time to stop so you can breathe, and think...
But time doesn’t stop.
You can’t just sit and take it all in – you have decisions to make, now, about things that you know nothing about and that will determine the fate of your life, forever.
What you’re going through is the most stressful situation that you can be in.
You’re being forced to make immediate decisions that will impact the rest of your life in a big way, when you don’t have any experience with, or understanding of, what’s going on and what your options truly are.
It’s impossible to feel confident in that situation.
And yet confidence is the very thing you most need in order to have some peace of mind and be able to focus on getting well and getting back to your life and the things that matter most to you.

On top of that, there are other reasons why cancer diagnoses and treatment plans based on a CT scan are far less accurate and effective than those based on better tests that are available to you now!
So when your cancer diagnosis and treatment plan is based on a CT scan, it’s appropriate for you to want more information and to wonder if there might be something more you can do to have better confidence and control over what is happening to you.
A cancer diagnosis is overwhelming for the best of us!
It makes perfect sense that if you’ve gotten a cancer diagnosis, you might feel too overwhelmed with emotion to want to start to tackle the logistics involved in getting the best possible treatment. Where would you even start, right?
But...you probably already know exactly what you DON’T WANT! And that is a good start...
We understand how you feel, and we are here to help you. You do not need to do this alone.
We believe that knowledge is power.
"Thank you very much for the discussion we had yesterday. Alex was very clear and helpful. He made sense of bits of information we already had and brought a lot of new information we didn't know about it. We do appreciate his knowledge and effort to help us a lot. A big thank you to you, too, because you made this discussion happen...and for all the support we may need in the future!"
– Nina Ostend, client
"Let me thank you for the time you and Alex spent with us the other evening. We were impressed with your knowledge, professionalism, caring, and obvious passion for what you do."
– Marge and Gary Hildebrand, client
"I was impressed with the research and knowledge Alex has. He’s explained everything along the way; I’ve come to trust him implicitly. He always gives me hope, which is a huge benefit."

"You should hire somebody like CTOAM that can help you get this [genetic testing, personalized research, and advocacy] done. All I wanted to do was to be able to say to my family that I’ve done the best I could. And, with CTOAM, I know I have."

In addition to ultrasounds, another scan commonly used in standard cancer diagnosis is a CT scan. CT stands for Computed Tomography. It's an imaging tool that uses X-ray technology to produce scans of the inside of the body. A CT scan is also sometimes called a CAT scan (Computerized Axial Tomography).
While CT scans do show a bit more detail than an ultrasound, they still cannot identify cancerous tissue – and this can easily lead to false negatives. PET/CT scans, on the other hand, provide you with far more accurate and detailed results.
A PET/CT scan, meanwhile, does show if tissue is cancerous or not, and how active it is. This means you won’t receive a false negative. Plus, you will avoid continuing treatment if it's not actually needed. We’ve had clients who’d been told that they were cancer-free, based on a CT scan. But when they got a PET/CT scan, it showed a cancerous tumour that would have otherwise gone untreated.
Simply put, you cannot rely on a CT scan. See our PET/CT vs CT Comparison to learn more about how and why CT scans can fail cancer patients.
If we know that PET/CT scan is a superior diagnostic tool, why are doctors still prescribing CT scans to patients (usually after they’ve had an ultrasound)?
The usual process in standard cancer care is to give people the cheapest (and, usually, least accurate) tests first. If those tests show troubling signs, the patient will get a slightly more expensive –and, more accurate – test. However, PET/CT scans are still not a part of standard care, except in worst case scenarios. But by the time patients in those cases actually get a PET/CT, so much time has passed that incorrect treatments have often already been given, and the cancer has progressed to an uncontrollable point. However...this can be avoided!
When you get a PET/CT scan from the start, you avoid wasting any time at all – and you are guaranteed to get all the facts about whether you have cancerous tumours, where exactly they are, how aggressive they are, and if your treatment is working as well as it should be. Isn't that what you want?
Read more about why PET/CT scans are so effective and how they work.
If you have any questions, or want to access a PET/CT and other life-saving tests & treatments, reach out today to speak with our precision oncology specialists.
While a PET/CT is an excellent imaging tool, it alone is not enough to give you an accurate diagnosis. For an accurate diagnosis, you also need to get comprehensive genetic testing done, and have the results analyzed by a genomics specialist (not a regular oncologist).
That’s why our medical team at Cancer Treatment Options and Management will help you get the most advanced diagnostic tools (like PET/CT) and genetic tests (like tumor DNA sequencing and liquid biopsy) as fast as possible. And, most importantly, we’ll ensure the results of these tests are properly analyzed and put into immediate action for you.
In other words, we’ll ensure you get the right testing done immediately – and then we’ll analyze the results and get you started on the right treatment ASAP.
Speed and accuracy are the two most important factors in a successful treatment outcome.

"I was impressed with the research and knowledge that the medical team from CTOAM has. They've explained everything along the way; I’ve come to trust them implicitly. They always give me hope, which is a huge benefit. I’d recommend for anyone diagnosed with cancer to give CTOAM a call and use this service. A doctor’s just a doctor – meaning, they don’t have time to do the research that Cancer Treatment Options and Management does, plus they have to stick with the protocols of standard care." – Damian, CTOAM patient & colon cancer survivor
"I used to be afraid of getting cancer, but reading about all the resources you can now use against it makes me feel much better. Keep up the good work!"
– Gladys Neudorf
"My father is doing very well. He just had his appointment with his oncologist who gave him a glowing report. Best possible outcome. I am sure that the immunotherapy was instrumental in his cancer being undetectable a year after diagnosis…especially without surgery. We are confident that this good report will continue into the future. We are very grateful for your help and do believe more people should have access to this treatment [Keytruda]. We hope this will make the treatment more accessible, too. Once again, thank you so much."
