Dr. Ira Friedlander answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Although it is: unlikely that your lesions are cancerous at your age it is not impossible. Especially if you are a smoker or chew tobacco or dip snuff. You should get these checked out by a professional to avoid possible serious complications. Make an appointment today.
