A member asked:
Whats the risk on biopsy and prognosis on lung cancer .currently no symptoms but psma mildly avid on 12mm lesion on top right posterior lung?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Biopsy risk: Is relatively low in general, location playing a significant role, bleeding, infection, pneumothorax and non diagnostic biopsy being among the most common. Once diagnosed and stage oncologist would be able to comment on prognosis.
