Needle Biopsy High Risk

2022-07-15 18:24:18
In my 67 year old mother's lungs, There is a soft tissue mass 3 cm in apical region of Rul.. We are getting treated in Command hospital.. doctor couldn't get Biopsy sample through broncoscopy method so a ct guided needle biopsy was advised but they are saying it would be very high risk.. very high they are saying.. I don't understand how to deal with this? Is there any expert hospital in Kolkata where this kind of difficult case can be done with low risk? Or will it be risky anywhere? The lung mass that is 3cm in size is 5cm deep in the upper right lung apical region of Rul.. Please help 🙏

Hello ,   Yes it is a risky procedure. You can take surgeon opinion if they can do Video assisted thoracoscopy with biopsy of the mass lesion in any good hospital in kolkata.

The procedure will be high risk anywhere else too. However as it is necessary, we have to weigh the risk and benefit and get it done with due precautions
