How Lung Cancer is Diagnosed: From Scan to Biopsy

It often starts with subtle signs

A persistent cough, breathlessness, or chest pain may prompt your doctor to order further tests.

Scans give the first clues

A chest X-ray or CT scan helps doctors detect any unusual growths or shadows in the lungs.

Testing for early warning signs

Lab tests can identify cancer markers or abnormal cells, guiding the next steps in diagnosis.

Biopsy confirms the diagnosis

A small tissue sample from the lung is examined under a microscope to detect cancer cells.
