Diagnosis of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Differential Diagnosis in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

There are several conditions that may produce symptoms similar to those caused by lung cancer and which must be excluded before the diagnosis is determined. Some of these conditions include:

Acute lung infections such as pneumonia or tuberculosis
Benign (non-cancerous) neoplasms of the lung
Fluid collection around the lung (pleural effusion) due to other conditions

Visitor Feedback

"I found the Guidebook very comprehensive and written in a professional and clear style. I would recommend your books to anyone who has a problem and needs to go to a doctor. Trusting your health issues in the hands of a doctor who may or may not be good or professional is no longer acceptable. I found that my father-in-law's doctor does not actually know about many of the studies described in the book even though he is considered to be one of the "specialists" in this domain."
