A member asked:
What specialist performs supraclavicular lymph node excisional biopsy? does this procedure require image guidance if the node is palpable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A general surgeon or thoracic surgeon can perform this procedure. The surgeon will be able to tell you, based on examining your lymph node, if imaging guidance will be needed to do this procedure. It may not be needed if the node is palpable but examining you is needed to know for sure. Best of luck to you!
