Hello!
The uploaded imaging data has been seen. The overall feeling is that benign lesions are more likely. However, it is recommended that it can be treated by thoracoscopic surgery if the physical condition allows. Patient’s question: In this case, should I go to a large hospital for another examination in the near future or should I wait for two months to see if there is a tendency of getting bigger? Answer: For lung nodules larger than 10.0mm, timely surgery is generally recommended.
