OOPS!!!I got it wrong.....Small cell CA with peripheral lesion--->Management cannot be bronchoscopy or sputum cytology...Betwen CT and LN biopsy I think I will go for the latter.....

But look at CXR! Peripheral lesion!

I'd pick LN, since CT will give just confirmation of expansive/infiltrative lesion. If it were MRI, I'd think twice. However, biopsy would still be more sensitive.
Any other opinion?

E) LN biopsy
And this is most likely is not SCLC, which is a central form of the lung cancer, not periferal... The Q is not correct by itself

Based on paraneoplastic manifestations, which one would you pick? SCLC is usually central, but in the light of symptoms...

My choice is LN biopsy... CT guided tumor biopsy is not an option on the list
I am always worried when Qs composed inappropriately ...

No, no, no, I asked you which CA would you pick? I'd say LN biopsy as well (from offered answeres), but in real life it'd be CT guided biopsy of the Tm.

As a rule Any Cancer needs tissue diagnosis for confirmation . So one an either biopsy the primary( the lung nodule) using a CT guided biopsy /FNA, or biopsy the supraclavicular node ( the question already suggests a metastssis to the supraclavicular node).
