Does surgery make cancer to spread if having nodules?
Patient: I am faced with either a needle biopsy of my lung, I have a nodule actually several, or surgery to extract the nodule and find out what this is. Two doctors have said this doesn t look like cancer but they can t say for sure. There are other nodules on my spine and lymph nodes. I can t make up my mind which to do. Does surgery make cancer spread or if air getting to cancer is just an old wives tale? Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You should go for needle biopsy of nodule. It will give you exact idea whether it is cancer or other lesion.  Then you should take treatment accordingly.  No need of surgery right now.
