Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Just had a sputum test which read: Many mixed gram neg and gram pos flora Many polymorphonuclear leukocytes Few Squamous epithelial cells I am 76 years old. I have had both breasts removed, last one just a month ago. I would like to know if this means I have cancer in my lungs.
Base on the result it indicates presence of infection in your chest. No cancer. If you can tell me your complaint why the sputum test was taken I will be able to help you.
