Solid nodules that have remained unchanged for a year do not require special treatment, but need to be followed up.
Solid nodules that have remained unchanged for one year may be benign, so there is no need to worry too much about them, but they do need to be followed up.
There is a very small percentage of malignant nodules that may remain unchanged for two to three years and then suddenly increase in size and become malignant in a few years, so in order to avoid this very low probability, it is recommended that regular follow-ups be performed once a year to keep abreast of any changes in the nodule.
On the other hand, the follow-up process can better understand whether there is any abnormality where the nodule is located, such as whether there is any new small nodule, whether there is any new other lesion, etc., which is equivalent to a local physical examination.
Therefore, in conclusion, if the solid nodules remain unchanged for a year, you need to continue to follow up and review, as long as you follow the doctor’s recommendations for scientific follow-up and review, and if the nodules deteriorate, you will not miss the best time for treatment.
