A member asked:
If one had symptoms of pancoast tumor. would it have shown up on a chest xray.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pancoast tumor: It is a function of size. Small apical or pancoast tumors can be missed on x-rays but once their size becomes large, then a chest x-ray should be able to detect them.
