A member asked:

In colon cancer person can a 0.5 cm lung nodule be a met? this was seen on a ct scan .

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Afraid so: Given the circumstances you described the lung nodule would be presumed to be a met unless proven otherwise. Does the person have liver mets? If yes, then the lung nodule is more likely to be met.
