Does Surgery Make Cancer To Spread If Having Nodules?

I am faced with either a needle biopsy of my lung, I have a nodule actually several, or surgery to extract the nodule and find out what this is. Two doctors have said this doesn t look like cancer but they can t say for sure. There are other nodules on my spine and lymph nodes. I can t make up my mind which to do. Does surgery make cancer spread or if air getting to cancer is just an old wives tale?
