Whether or not a pulmonary ground-glass nodule can be cured after minimally invasive surgery should be determined by the actual condition. They are usually curable if treated promptly, but there is still a risk of recurrence. The majority of ground glass nodules are malignant on imaging and are at risk of becoming cancerous. Benign nodules are usually closely related to lung infections, but usually do not cause discomfort and can be treated with anti-infective therapy to eliminate the disease. If the benign nodule is large and the patient is willing to undergo surgery, minimally invasive surgery can be performed and a cure can be achieved. In contrast, malignant nodules can be cured after minimally invasive surgery, but they may still recur. Therefore, if you are at high risk of lung cancer, it is recommended that you go to the hospital regularly for low-dose CT screening. If any abnormality is detected, treatment should be carried out immediately according to the advice of healthcare professionals. Ground glass nodules in the lungs carry the risk of becoming cancerous, so it is important to treat them with caution and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
