A member asked:
Does testicular cancer metastasize to lungs without retroperitoneal node involvement? what is the best way to prove lung masses are benign vs malignant if youve already started chemo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can depending on the kind of cancer. Best way is needle biopsy if indicated. Sometimes a Ct or MRI along with lab tests -is enough.
