What Are Chances Of Cancer In Liver With Biopsy 'suspicious For Cancer'?
52 year old male. Have a lump in my liver. Biopsy came back "suspicious for cancer". What in the world does that mean? Had a PET scan today waiting a week to see the doctor. How likely is this to be cancer? I have not had a liver function test in about 3 months and thosse were mostly normal.
