I’m going to copy and paste my final report from my biopsy I had yesterday on my left lung I need help understanding what it means and I don’t see my dr until June 3rd.Left upper lobe of lung, transbronchial biopsy:Non-small cell carcinoma.Comment: Immunohistochemistry is performed and the tumor is positive for TTF-, Napsin, CK7 and focal CD56 and negative forCK5/6 p40 and CK20 the tumor cells have an oncocytic cytomorphology. An adenocarcinoma is favored. All matched controlsare appropriate.For routine quality assurance, the case is reviewed as an intradepartmental consult with concurrence.

Hi @windywinland79, These pathology reports can be difficult to interpret, so that's best left to the doctors. I'm sorry to hear that the biopsy showed cancer. But now the doctors can move forward with treatment, and from what you've said, they are hopeful that the surgery will be successful. Try to focus on that piece of good news. I'm sure you'll find out more next week at the appointment. Please let us know how the appointment goes.
