A member asked:
Should the lung carcinoid surgery have gone ahead if a few hours before the doc found 4 cysts on the liver.ct scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably completely: Appropriate. Gut carcinoids are always in the liver if they go to the lung. If there was an indication for surgical management of the lung disease then the liver findings would not change that plan.
