Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
At your age of 75 years, 2.5 to 3 cm mass in right lung is more likely due to malignancy (cancer).
Your hoarseness of voice is also due to recurrent laryngeal nerve involvement due to malignant mass in lung.
So wait for FNAC (Fine needle aspiration cytology) report.
This will be confirmatory for malignant mass.
If it is malignant lung mass then we well have to determine staging because treats based on staging only.
Early stage 1-2 will need surgical removal removal of mass.
Stage 3-4 will need chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
So collect FNAC report and consult oncologist for further treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
