hey All
I had cancer in nasal and sinus cavity. My question is this
Can radiation to an area cause tissue nearby to be necrotic and cause swelling and inflammation 6 months later. Also can biopsy of tissue be negative whilst other part of mass biopsy later is positive??? i know Y'all aren't doctors, but I'd just like your input based on your experience.
