Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the report you're have mentioned.
This report clearly suggest that patient is having malignant looking lung mass in right upper lobe.
Patient is also having mediastinal Lymphadenopathy.
So possibility of lung cancer is more.
Next step would be, Biopsy from the mass to identify the type of malignancy.
On the basis of the type of malignancy, further step in treatment is decided.
Chemotherapy should be given to reduce the tumour size and make it more resectable (operable). Enblock resection is treatment of choice.
So better to consult oncologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your patient. Thanks.
