Lung Cancer X Ray
Lung Cancer shows itself as a shadow caused by the tumor as marked by a "Ca". However, the development of shadowing on the lung cancer on the X ray lags behind formation of the cancer and a lesion has to be over a centimetre in diameter before it can be recognised. Thus a negative chest X-ray does not exclude cancer. Often an MRI will have to be done to obtain a definitive diagnosis. |
