A member asked:
Cancer: possible that newly diagnosed cancer was caused by infection from a deep muscle varicose vein ablation or lumbar epidural injection 2 months a?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: unrelated to those items. Smoking, inhalation, or family history could be related. If epidural done for pain, makes me wonder if subtle cancer was already present? Where, and what kind?
