Hello! Thank you for the query. When a patient lose weight without visible reason (like diet change or stress), cancer should be always first thing to rule out. Abdominal CT has revealed some atelectasis which is nothing serious indeed and can not be the reason of weight loss. If your husband is over the age of 50, colonoscopy should be the first test. He should also have prostate checked (PSA level and urologist consult). If he smokes, lungs CT is necessary as well. Hope this will help. Regards.
