Dear practo user, as there are multiple mediastinal and cervical Lymph nodes, you need to do Lymph node excision biopsy. sensitivity of FNAC is low. With excision biopsy we can get exact report and treatment can be decided properly and in initial stage. If you wait with impirical treatment then diseases stage might increase. Excision biopsy is day care simple procedure.
