Lung nodules that have not changed in three years still need to continue to be followed up, but do not need to be reviewed frequently, and can be followed up and reviewed every 12 months.
If lung nodules are found, follow-up is needed every 6 to 12 months, depending on the situation, mainly for lung CT and other tests to clarify whether the lung nodules have changed.
If there is no significant change after 3 years of follow-up, the lung nodule is usually benign, but it cannot be diagnosed clearly by imaging, and can only be used as a reference, so continuous follow-up is needed to clarify whether there is any change in the later stage, and follow-up review every 12 months is recommended.
If the lung nodule is found to have progressed significantly within a short period of time during the follow-up process, it is necessary to actively seek medical treatment and follow the doctor’s instructions.
