What Causes Infection Post Surgery For A Kidney Stone?

Wanted a Dr in my State to answer this question, so submitted to above Dr.
Abnormal lymph nodes in chest
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Abnormal lymph nodes in your chest (detected incidentally) is unlikely to be reactive lymphnodes.
In older patients, the differential diagnosis includes primary lung cancer (especially among smokers), lymphomas, metastatic carcinoma , tuberculosis, fungal infection, and sarcoidosis.
CT and MRI are comparably accurate (65–90%) for mediastinal lymphadenopathy.
Positron emission tomography (PET), or preferably CT-PET should be done.. PET scanning attempts to identify sites of malignancy based on glucose metabolism by measuring the uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose F18.
CT-PET has been found to be superior in identifying pathologically enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes and extrathoracic metastases.
Detox and Lymph massage per therapist are unlikely to help and hence not recommended.
Regards
Dr. T.K. Biswas M.D. XXXXXXX
