First do CXR --> look old x-ray --> CT-scan chest
>If the mass is central --> bronchoscopy + biopsy
>If peripheral --> open remove + biopsy

agree, except for peripheral: well, technically agree with starcraftbw, although in the clinical practice, you may need to do only a percutaneous biopsy and then according to the type or stage, maybe do only radiation +- chemotx with no need to do a thoracotomy with removal.
