Whether the grinding glass foci in the lungs are serious or not is determined by their benign or malignant nature; benign foci are not serious and malignant foci are more serious.
1. Benign foci: if the grinding glass foci are caused by pneumonia, tuberculosis, trauma, pulmonary hemorrhage, rheumatoid immune diseases, etc., they are generally not serious, and most of the patients can achieve a better prognosis after regular and limited symptomatic and causative treatments.
2. Malignant foci: if the grinding glass foci in lungs are caused by lung cancer, including primary lung cancer and metastatic lung cancer, they are more serious and may be life-threatening if not treated in time. Generally, early primary lung cancer still has the chance of surgery, while advanced lung cancer and metastatic lung cancer mostly lose the chance of surgery and have poorer prognosis.
When you find ground glass lesions in the lungs, it is recommended to consult a doctor for examination in time. Define the cause of the disease and treat it in time.
