Does Dark Spot On The Secondary Bronchiole Need Another Bronchoscopy?

They found a 3-4 mm dark spot on one of my secondary brochioles during a bronchoscopy today? It is better to do another bronchoscopy in a few months and see if it grows or to do another bronchoscopy and get a biopsy sample in the next a couple of days? I am reluctant to do biopsy since it may cause the lung collaps and the blood from the biopsy spot may spread the bad cells faster if it is cancer.

hi. ,Dr. boskey gandhi is here, I think u should go for biopsy by expert person. if it is cancer then u will go for chemotherapy or radiotherapy will kill your bed cell spreading. if it is non cancerous lesion, then decide other way of treatment. here lesion is too small, so if diagnosis is properly made, so u will treat in good manner. so best of luck.
