How is lung cancer diagnosed?
Your doctor may use a variety of techniques to make a diagnosis, including:
Your medical history asks about your symptoms as well as your general health
Your family history
Your medical checkup
Imaging examinations, like a chest x-ray or chest CT scan
Lab tests, such as blood and sputum tests
a lung biopsy
If you do have lung cancer, your doctor will perform additional tests to determine how far it has spread throughout the body, including the lymph nodes, lungs, and other organs. Staging describes this. Your doctor can determine the appropriate course of treatment for you by considering the type and stage of lung cancer you have.
