A malignant nodule means that the nodule behaves as a malignant tumor, proliferates more rapidly, and is more likely to infiltrate and metastasize.
Nodules are divided into benign and malignant. If cancer cells are found within the nodule tissue, it is called malignant nodule, which means cancer. Malignant nodules are mostly found in the thyroid gland, lungs, and organs such as the breast, and they often have the characteristics of hard mass, not easy to be pushed, and rapid growth.
Malignant nodules in CT, color ultrasound and other imaging tests often show rich blood flow, and the border with the surrounding unclear, need to take timely targeted treatment.
Once malignant nodule is found, as long as it meets the indications of surgery, it needs to be resected in time, and if necessary, extended resection is also needed to remove the cancer cells so as to achieve the purpose of recovery; if it cannot be operated, it needs to be treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and other ways to control the condition.
