How to confirm cancer?
Patient: I had a lission about the size of little finger nail removed for biopsy, it is irrgularly shaped and slightly raised. it has been a weeknow waiting for the results, they said the results are taking longer becouse the Oncologist is looking at a " deeper cube or slide" of the lission. first if i can send you a pic of this lission can you tell me what you think. and second why would he want to look deeper Cube or slide" should that scare me or set me more at ease. Thank you Greg Cant sleep or eat Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some benign lesion or cancer.  You should wait for your biopsy results.  If you send me pictures of your histopathology images then I can tell you whether it is cancer or not.  From picture of lesion we can't say that. They are taking deeper section.  It is to search invasion in to deeper structure or sone cancer foci.  Don't worry much about that.  Just be relaxed.  Wait for your biopsy results.  Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
