Pulmonary malignant tumors are the most common benign tumors of the lungs, and the need for surgery is determined based on their location, size, and other factors to determine whether they are benign or malignant.
Lung malignant tumors grow slowly and rarely become malignant. If the size of the tumor is relatively small and there are no obvious clinical symptoms, conservative treatment and regular checkups can be carried out without surgical resection. If the location of the tumor is superficial or the tumor is so large that it compresses the bronchial tubes or shows other signs of malignancy, then surgical resection should be performed.
Depending on the size and malignancy of the lung malignant tumor, simple tumor resection or lobectomy can be chosen. Intraoperative pathologic puncture can be performed to determine the benignness or malignancy of the tumor and to further determine the scope of resection.
