Sounds like cancer but cannot be confirmed without biopsy report. remember all masses are not cancers. hence biopsy is mandatory. yes, patient needs to be stabilized before any test. if if he is positive for malignancy. patient would first be stabilized before definitive therapy and that is what they must be doing now even though diagnosis is not confirmed.
