Fungi were found in sputum examination, but mycobacterium tuberculosis and cancer cells were not found. What is the probability of lung cancer from CT?

Upstairs, if you suspect lung cancer, please don't do X-ray examination again, because lung cancer is difficult to distinguish from pneumonia (including lung abscess) and tuberculosis, and the two main reasons for suspicion are clinical manifestations:

1. The clinical manifestations are different from pneumonia and tuberculosis.

2. The performance is the same or similar, but the anti-inflammatory and anti-tuberculosis treatment is ineffective for half a month.

But the images are so similar that X-ray fluoroscopy or photography cannot be used alone. Ordinary X-ray CT and MRI can only diagnose the metastasis of lung cancer through the severity of lymph nodes. most important of all

X-ray CT enhanced scanning or PET-CT localization can find suspicious positive areas, and the diagnosis can only be made through bronchoscopy or biopsy.

I don't know what fungus you detected. If it is Aspergillus flavus, I'm afraid it's not far from lung cancer.
