A member asked:

Nov 12 i had a early cdt lung cancer test. only mage4 was slightly elevated. ct was clear then. twomonths ago clear chest xray. could this b cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably Not: It would be highly unlikely to have lung cancer if a recent ct scan of the chest showed no tumors in the lung.
