What is a precancerous lesion of the lung



Pre-cancerous lung lesions are lesions that have not yet progressed to lung cancer, but have a higher probability of progressing to lung cancer if left untreated.

Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor, and the formation of lung cancer is a gradual process of change. And precancerous lesions are very important mid-course lesions. This kind of lesion itself is benign, and because it has a high probability of becoming cancerous, patients need to deal with it in time. For example, surgical resection, drugs and so on. The treatment also needs to be followed up on a regular basis, especially with CT of the lungs.

Since precancerous lesions are benign tumors, timely treatment is ideal. For lesions that continue to progress and surgically resected precancerous lesions, pathologic tests must be performed, and a part of the lesions that have become cancerous need to be further evaluated, staged, and treated with standardized lung cancer treatment.

Therefore, precancerous lesions of the lung are benign lesions that need to be treated promptly and observed on time because of the higher chance of progression to lung cancer.
