You a-priori do not know if you have cancer. The case 1 branches are:
Case 1 without cancer: you're a guy that knows more than doctors because you're the "I have 3 scans on hand guy", so as soon as you open the scans and the doctor says there's a mass, you will say 'OK what can we do???' And then you had a worthless biopsy.
Case 1 with cancer: you saved the 1 week it would take to schedule the new scan and get results and you're basically in the same situation except one week earlier.

Multiple scans over time shows change and growth and improves the likelihood of an accurate triage And for the first part that doesn't happen in my scenario before the doctor doesn't look at the scans
