Last Dec I had cancer tumor removed at Mayo. My local Pulmonologist proposed CT needle biopsy, but their Radiologist said he was not comfortable to do it because of the risk and he could not get enough sample. I transferred to Mayo and based on previous CT and PET scans they were pretty certain it was cancer and proposed biopsy and removal be done at same time. I had VAT surgery, and very happy with outcome. Glad I did not have to do two separate procedures!
