Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
There I am of the opinion that Biopsy should be done. I would like you to understand that cancer has very high chances of remission as malignant cells are never 100% destroyed in your body with current treatment guidelines. So please consult your oncologist regarding this. And if you have reports and past records, please forward to me for further evaluation.
Thank you for the query. Hope this clarifies your concerns.
Take care
