Overview
Other Diagnostic Studies
Computed tomography (CT) scan and biopsy: CT scans are often used to diagnose lung cancer. It can confirm the location of the cancer and show the organs near the lung, as well as lymph nodes and distant organs where the cancer might have spread. These are helpful for determining the stage of the cancer and in determining whether surgery is a good treatment option. CT scans can also be used to guide biopsy and a biopsy sample is usually removed and looked at under a microscope.
