A member asked:
Can scar tissue develop on lung 6 years after lumpectomy?. all previous scans clear.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I assume the: lumpectomy was on the breast tissue and not the lung in which case scar tissue on the lung should not occur and if something new for you would recommend further imaging with better resolution, ie MRI scanning.
