A member asked:

Could a chest ct miss breast cancer or lymphoma in breast ? i had enlarged lymph node and enlarged left breast shown on ultrasound but chest ct was normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Although chest CT scan is not used to screen for breast cancer it can detect breast tissue pathology including cancer. Of course a tissue examination is needed for a definitive diagnosis. In your case I would recommend close collaboration between a breast surgeon and radiologist with respect to careful follow-up and advice about indications for other type studies and biopsy.
