Diagnostic Information

Final Diagnosis For Which Treatment Was Sought Including Patient's Actual Condition
Patient was admitted by Dr. Joseph who was the attending physician during patient's hospitalization of February 3, 2002 for a CABG after an acute myocardial infarction. During Pre-op workup a CT scan revealed a questionable 15mm nodular density in the right lung. Dr. Joseph was aware of the density but it was generally felt that the CABG must proceed forward.

On January 20, 2003 a chest CT revealed a 2 cm right lung mass diagnosed as non-small cell carcinoma. After 2 years of aggressive treatment patient died on October 9, 2004.
