Milled glass nodules that grow from 1.3 to 2.0 centimeters in three months are more serious and require further examination and treatment.
Generally speaking, if the size of lung nodule is over 8mm, further examination is needed to clarify the specific nature of the lung nodule, and then take targeted treatment. If the ground-glass nodule grows from 1.3 cm to 2.0 cm in three months, it is considered to be more likely to be malignant, i.e. caused by primary tumor or tumor metastasis.
Therefore, further examination, including fiberoptic bronchoscopy, pathological examination, etc., should be carried out in a timely manner, so as to clarify the specific typing, staging and other information, and then adopt targeted radiotherapy or surgical treatment. The prognosis is relatively good if the cancer can be completely removed by surgical treatment at an early stage.
Even if cancer cells cannot be found, a lung nodule of this size may be malignant and prompt removal is still recommended.
Therefore, the condition of the ground-glass nodule that has grown from 1.3 to 2.0 centimeters in three months is relatively serious, and further examination and treatment are recommended.
