CT Scan was done : CT confirmed about a foreign mass in lower lobe of left lung 3. CT Guided Biopsy ( FNAC ) was done: Report confirmed Non-Small Cell Carcinoma . Probably Squamous Cell Carcinoma 4. Whole Body Scan was done and below was the analysis: Physiologic traser distribution noted. Left lung shows increased uptake Left Interlobar node increased uptake Right Adrenal Shows increased uptake Rest scan unremarkable PETCT Scan findings consistent with left lung tumour Left Interlobar and lobar nodal metastases Hypermetabolic Right Adrenal
Dear friend, welcome to Chat Doctor. A well asked question !!all data indicates a cancer of left lung lower lobe, probably locally spread to nodes. A Chat Doctor. There are many factors including age, stage, cytology, metastasis etc. Which affect surgical decision. Better to see an onco-surgeon to get detailed evaluation with all reports. Or post all details to guide.  Take care and keep me posted on the issue. Would be glad to help.
