A member asked:
Why is oncologist saying squamous nsclc cannot be staged, because of enlarged lymph nodes that did not light up on pet? surgical consult in the a.m.

Your surgeon will he: Your surgeon will help you sort it out tomorrow. So wait and see what he recommends. I believe your node is tumor free and PET scan is the way we do the staging of lung Cancer.
