A 6-millimeter ground-glass nodule that has not changed after a year of review usually does not require treatment; continue to follow your doctor’s instructions for regular reviews.
If a 6-mm ground-glass nodule is present and has not changed after 1 year of review, no specific treatment is needed. In this case, the lung nodule is more likely to be benign, and may be related to previous history of pneumonia, tuberculosis, bleeding, environmental stimuli, etc. However, the patient should continue to follow the doctor’s instructions.
However, patients should continue to follow the doctor’s instructions and undergo regular checkups in 6 months or 1 year. If there is still no change or the nodule is getting smaller, no treatment is needed; if the size of the nodule increases significantly, and the edges of the nodule show signs of lobulation or burr, then it is more related to lung cancer, and further examination and treatment are needed in a timely manner.
