Explanation

"UK CT Restaging" refers to a process where a CT scan, a type of imaging test, is done again in the United Kingdom. This is usually done to see if a disease has changed in any way, for example, if it has spread or shrunk. The term "restaging" is used because the results of the scan may lead to a change in the 'stage' or severity of the disease.
