I personally thank you for this info. The majority of my family dies due to lung cancer. My mother was scanned an they found a mass and said to come back in one year. She did and they said ok but stop smoking. I was born nicotine addicted in the womb and times were differant. I was around the heavy 2nd hand smoke all my childhood,then suffered depression very young and didn't even know what that was..might alone started to smoke at the age of 12. I'm 47 now and last year they found large mass in right lung. 4 times bigger than my mother's. They scanned ed again and said stop smoking. I had already been trying and had tried everything Drs could help me stop. No more talk about it but said Insurance would only cover once a year scan.!?!? I've tried to get a biopsy with no luck! I'm wheezing within 3 months horribly. Know blood coming up and have 14 other disabilities! Only been told after begging for biopsy...that we will try but your to poor afford test,and not even call backs after being told about seriousness and true needs to prevent it spreading/catching it in a treatment stage! So I thank you so much for info that all Drs haven't even explained to me. I guess I'm a human less than keeping alive and cost more than yrs of me paying taxes and a contribitor to worth while. I thank you very much for your info...that thousands of dollars couldnt make me worth.
Hi Rishi my mother has COPD ,and still coughing, two benin nodes are found in her thyroid and one in lung and now her collarbone is showing node that is growing and its painful , she had her appendix operation twice.her hemoglobin ,VitD3,Folic acid,B12 all are low. And treatment is going on. CT scan ,x ray,ultrasound all are done ,cancer is not found.now I dont know what should I do.
Great video. Dr. Agrawal, Do you play on doing a video on Lung Cancer TNM Staging for the 8th edition? I think that would be an amazing topic that you would break down very effectively/efficiently.
2 nodules were seen in my lungs . 6mm and 12mm . Pet-scan . Biopsy also done . Only inflammatory cells came out . Pulmonologist doesn't know he says . Wait 4 months and then ct-scan again to see if they have grown . Still , there was a moderately increased metabolism in the nodules . Cysts are also present in the lungs . The stretch is out of the lung , the doctor said . Also have livedo reticularis everywhere . I recently read article sarcoidose- livedo . Do you know anything about that ? Article was online .
My moms was the size of a pea And now a quarter She hasn’t had the money to get this screening, it was just x ray I hope we can get enough money for her to get this CT scan But it doesn’t sound good Thank u for the video very informative
What happens when you're doctor found a small spot on your lung and it's been 4 years i am always having problems with my lungs and sore throat but he never listen to me lymphoma is what my sister has
Dear Dr. Agrawal, I meet age criteria in your list but I have never smoked AND I have no symptoms. Am I eligible for screening? It is not clear to me if I need to meet ALL the criterion OR just any one. Thanks for informative videos.
Is lung cancer still is considered deadly for aids or hiv patients? I have read some blue states that lung cancer Patience's are not liable for their lung cancer If they have a relationship with gay sex, it will put to pasture gay people when they are contacted by lung cancer

Great idea, I'll try to put something together.

My moms was the size of a pea
And now a quarter
She hasn’t had the money to get this screening, it was just x ray
I hope we can get enough money for her to get this CT scan
But it doesn’t sound good
Thank u for the video very informative
Dr. Agarwal, I really need to contact u regarding some serious issue related lung. Can please help me and tell me how to contact with you????
🙏
Great Presentation. My Question is, to be eligible for the screening you have to above 50 years alone or need to have a smoking history too?
Yes you need to have a smoking history too.
When do you think these changes will be reflected in radiology board exams?
Great question. Doubt it would happen this year, guessing next year.
What happens when you're doctor found a small spot on your lung and it's been 4 years i am always having problems with my lungs and sore throat but he never listen to me lymphoma is what my sister has
Amazing that all these tests yet my late mother her lung cancer was discovered late stage. Stage 4
sorry to hear that. yeah sometimes even with lung cancer screening and all the tools we have, it is still caught in an advanced stage.
Dear Dr. Agrawal, I meet age criteria in your list but I have never smoked AND I have no symptoms. Am I eligible for screening? It is not clear to me if I need to meet ALL the criterion OR just any one. Thanks for informative videos.
Good question. You need to meet all the criteria to be eligible, not just one.
You can get a scan easy anywhere! Just pay yourself.
Found Lobulated lesion size 41×60mm in lung, is it cancer??
I don't know. But that is pretty big and you should consult a lung doctor or thoracic surgeon.
Yeh, doctor suggested for biopsy
What about a never smoker with ovarian cancer and a lung nodule 3cm?
hi, hard to say for sure. better to talk to your oncologist regarding the lung nodule.
can a nodule disappear
Yes it can
US preventive task force guidelines says 50 to 80 years...
Yup you're right. CMS decided to leave the upper limit at 77 (i.e. medicare/medicaid patients)
Is lung cancer still is considered deadly for aids or hiv patients? I have read some blue states that lung cancer Patience's are not liable for their lung cancer If they have a relationship with gay sex, it will put to pasture gay people when they are contacted by lung cancer
For people with a weakened immune system, either from AIDS or medications that suppress the immune system, cancers of any kind can grow faster.
