A member asked:
Can lymph nodes around tumor site in the colon be seen as cancerous (i do have rare cancer) by a ct with contrast as result of tumor biopsy or only seen during major resection of colon surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definitive diagnosis of cancer in the colon would require removal of the node and examination by a pathologist. Wish you good health!
