dear friend, welcome to HCM.
a well asked question !!
all data indicates a cancer of left lung lower lobe , probably locally spread to nodes.
adrenal uptake doubtful if cancerous, probably not.
there are many factors including age, stage, cytology , metastasis etc.. which affect surgical decision.
better to see an onco-surgeon to get detailed evaluation with all reports.
or post all details to guide.
take care and keep me posted on the issue. would be glad to help.
