Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I don't think he need a biopsy. He may firstly do a pulmonary x-ray, spirometry and a total blood count.
He should continue doing other examinations only after having reports of these above.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
