[|Human|] I have COPD and I just over pnuemonia. My doctor took another chest xray today, and said I have infiltration in both lower lobes of my lungs, he has ordered a ct scan of my lungs, and he also told me the last four people that he has seen with this was diagnosed with lung cancer
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should definitely get done CT scan as CT gives much better idea about lung parenchymal. In my opinion I don't think it is cancer. As in bilateral lung infiltrate rarely seen in cancer. Causes of bilateral lung infiltrate are1. Pulmonary edema2. Bilateral bacterial pneumonia3. Viral pneumonia4. Bronchiolitis5. TB.6. Malignancy specifically Bronchi alveolar carcinoma. So we have to rule out other causes first. So better to get done CT Thorax with contrast.
