A CT scan can often detect evidence of a growth or tumor. If cancer is suspected, a biopsy is usually performed to determine whether the growth is malignant or benign. (I know this because my son, currently in remission from cancer, has had multiple CT scans to look for regrowth of his original tumor. I was told that if a regrowth occured, a biopsy would be done.)
