A member asked:
My husband had a ct scan which picked up a mass in his colon probably malignant. his liver and lung bases clear what about rest of lungs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need diagnosis: The first step is to confirm the diagnosis and find out for sure what the mass is and if it is a cancer. Colon cancer almost always goes to the liver first, so if the liver is clear, it's often possible to cure the condition with an operation to remove the primary mass.
