A member asked:
Since pet scan shows only one area of lung which is very suspicious for malignancy, does that mean if it's cancer that it hasn't metastasis? thank you

Yes you are right: A PET scan will pick up Cancer at all sites. It looks like that your Cancer(if it is confirmed with a biopsy) is still localized to the lung alone(No metastases).
