Does the beginning of lung parenchyma mean cancer?
Patient: hi there, my mom was a cancer patient in the year 2004 and she had cervix cancer. Some thing was detected in her lungs and after doing the test i got this report in my inbox.  IMPRESSION:CT guided biopsy of lung lesion : -Serial sections reveal benign lung parenchyma.There is no evidence of metastasis.Im really confused and not able to understand if its a cancer or no. Please help me with the same. regardswasim Doctor: Hi,Thanks for writing in.CT scan guided biopsy is a confirmatory investigation for any suspected cancer areas. In your mother the test has been done to confirm any abnormal lesion in lung.The report says that there is no cancer process in the cells studied under the microscope. These cells are harmless and benign.Presence of benign cells on biopsy is a good news and there is no need to get worried about the cancer returning. Please do not worry.
