Usually benign lung nodules do not have a great impact on life expectancy, while malignant lung nodules may be life-threatening and can probably be lived for a few months to a few years.
Most benign lung nodules usually have no special discomfort and regular review is sufficient. Some lung nodules may have discomfort such as coughing and sputum, and after identifying the cause and undergoing timely, reasonable and standardized treatment, the prognosis is usually better and will not affect normal life expectancy;
Malignant lung nodules such as lung cancer may have a life expectancy ranging from a few months to a few years. Active and effective treatment can prolong the survival period and improve the quality of life of patients.
It is recommended that patients with lung nodules go to regular hospitals in time to clarify the causes and under the guidance of doctors for standardized treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
