A mis-diagnosis is always possible. It all depends on how many tests the doctor has performed and how accurate they are. However, a doctor probably wouldn't break the news about having lung cancer until he is sure it is lung cancer. An exception would be if he did not see something that would make the disorder other than lung cancer.
