It states that flow voids are present withhin central bilateral anterior and vertebrobasilair systems, is this cancerous?

hi
carbon monoxide poisoning is not necessarily cancerous, unless chronic. onle few case reports are known.
mucosal damage can repair itself
cerebral atrophy can be even age related
suggest meet your dr
cancer cannot be diagnosed or confirmed without biopsy
best of luck
