misdiagnosis of lung cancer? What is the frequency of lung tumors doctors misdiagnosed as lung cancer?
lung tumors are rarely benign. Although there have been cases where cancer is suspected, but further exploration of the mass is to be scar tissue from previous illnesses such as pneumonia or bronchitis. A biopsy is always preformed to determine a malignant or benign. Biopsies also provide the necessary information to determine what type of lung cancer cells with small or non-small cell so that they know best how to administer treatment.
