A member asked:
I have 2 small pes, one in each lung. could this be caused from an undiagnosed cancer? what are the chances? healthy 27 y/o male. if so what cancers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetics: You must have full blood tests done to rule out genetic reasons for PE along with work up for hidden malignancy. Other risk factors are hormonal therapy and long travel / sedentary state and obesity. Ask for hematologist consult. Any cancer is a hypercoagulable state.
