Hello doctor, My grandmother was diagnosed with MAC (Mycobacterium Avium Complex) plus carcinoid tumor. Can you please tell me what this means?
Hello. MAC (Mycobacterium Avium Complex) is bacteria related to tuberculosis and is a disease of the lung where bacteria affects the lungs. In simple words, it is a bacterial infection of the lungs. A carcinoid tumor is nothing but a cancer that mostly starts either the lungs or the digestive system. Regards. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online -->
