Mgt.: A tissue biopsy and bronchial washing for cytology will help to rule out cancer. If you have a family history of cancer, smoking and any pulmonary symptoms, the risk is higher. I would recommend an appointment with Pulmonology.

A member asked:

7 years ago started suffering from fatigue and brainfog, one of the tests I had was chest CT. Now undergoing tests for lung cancer. Could the start of lung cancer have been the symptoms of 7 years ago even though CT was unremarkable? Thank You?

A member asked:

What's the chance of an occult lung cancer causing 7 years of fatigue and other non specific issues but not showing on a CT scan of the chest. Thought about paraneoplastic syndrome but these seem very rare & cancer normally appears within a few years?
