In clinic, most of the clinicopathologic classification of glassy nodular lung cancer is adenocarcinoma, and the growth rate is relatively slow.
The density of ground glass nodular lung cancer is different from the density of surrounding lung tissues in medical imaging, generally with increased density, in which the blood vessel texture can still be found, which can be manifested as unclear boundary, or can be manifested as peripheral lobe or burr, and malignant symptoms such as pleural pulling of malignant tumors of lungs can be seen.
Most of the glassy nodular lung cancers are adenocarcinomas, which can be of alveolar subtype, papillary subtype or others, and can be clinically divided into pure glassy nodular lung cancer, mixed glassy nodular lung cancer, and solid glassy nodular lung cancer, and the 5-year survival rate after early detection and surgical resection reaches 100%, 88%, and 73%, respectively.
For the diagnosis and treatment of MGNLC, it is recommended to consult the Department of Thoracic Surgery of regular hospitals.
