Is The Markings In The Lungs Due To Cancer?
I have been diagnosed with bronchitis since long. Now, on routine examination, chest X-ray shows mild bronchovascular markings in the lungs. Also, I have been diagnosed with Hodgkins disease and have taken treatment (more than 10 years ago). Is it something like cancer of the lungs

It is not a serious finding and findings are often reversible with treatment of underlying cause.
It is not related to cancer of lungs.
