hello doctor, A spot is detected in the lungs area of my mother her age is 55 years We have gone through various phase of tests, that are 1) X-Ray 2) CT -Scan Impression
Hi. Metastasis/primary lung tumor and infective lesions such as granulomas(tubercular). Hence, a histopathological diagnosis is essential to determine the plan of treatment, since the treatment will not be the same for both these conditions. So the biopsy is necessary. Other test that include the blood counts, contour tests are indirect evidences which can be useful, but not anywhere close to the biopsy. Discuss with your doctor for more details...
