A 20-year-old. Never smoked. But a scan shows a lung mass.
Sounds like cancer… right? Not always. At this age, lung cancer is rare.

• Tuberculosis
• Lymphoma
• Sarcoidosis
These can look very similar on scans, and many are treatable. That’s why tests like PET-CT and bronchoscopy matter. Because a scan can suggest, but only a biopsy confirms.
Right now, the goal isn’t panic.
It’s getting the right diagnosis.
