My grandpa has done the CT CHEST ABDOMEN PELVIS. The findings are 4.6cm (AP) x 3.9cm(H) x 3.7cm(W) soft tissue mass seen in the right upper lobe. There is several mediastinal and right axillary lymph nodes noted. Also, there is a 2.5cm x 1.8cm soft tissue mass in the right adrenal gland. Please advise the best treatment and what is the chance of living?

Thanks!

    Until it is confirmed that it

    Until it is confirmed that it is cancer by a biopsy, and the tissue has been studied for type and possible mutations, it is not possible to answer your question.   Please know that this does not have to be an automatic death sentence.
