Ninety-five percent of solid nodules are not necessarily lung cancer.
Solid nodules are an imaging expression that does not accurately indicate whether a nodule is benign or malignant. Most solid nodules are benign lesions, and less than about 10% of solid nodules are malignant.
Benign nodules are mainly inflammatory reactions, such as tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis fibrosis, silicosis, pulmonary calcification, etc. Malignant nodules may appear as bronchopulmonary carcinoma, alveolar cell carcinoma, etc.
If the nodules are benign, usually no special treatment is needed, and it is enough to prohibit smoking in daily life and have regular checkups. Malignant nodules can be treated with surgery and, if necessary, with radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
Solid nodules should be detected early, diagnosed early, treated as soon as possible to avoid spreading, and maintain good daily habits.
