<s>[INST] They found a 1cm by 2cm spot on my pancreas during a routine CAT scan that I have done every 6 months, to see if my liver cirrhosis turned cancer...liver was clear, but this spot has me very concerned. My G.I. ordered an Ultra sound with fasting for the 9th of June. In your opinion what are the odds it is cancer and if not what else could it be. [/INST] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Liver cirrhosis is a precancerous condition for HCC (Hepatic Cell Carcinoma). So if in CAT scan liver is clearer than no need to worry about liver malignancy. But you should investigate further for spots on pancreas. This can be calcified nodule or enlarged lymph node or infective loci. Better to rule out these by endoscopic ultrasound. So consult GI doctor and get done endoscopic ultrasound. </s>
