Very: Ct guided biopsy is very accurate , as it is done under direct visualization of the suspicious lesion, is relatively safe precise ( depending on the location )and will give accurate diagnosis

A member asked:
Can docs diagnose cancer in a parotid gland from a single cat scan with contrast? Or would biopsy and/or additional tests/scans be needed to confirm? Next appointment is with oncologist (before seeing ENT) after finding growth on cat scan. Do I worry?
