Lung cancer can not be ruled out for 6mm lung nodules, and regular checkups are needed.
Clinically, it is generally believed that the possibility of malignant changes is not big if the lung nodule is less than 1cm, and only regular examination is needed for 6mm lung nodule, but it is uncertain how long lung cancer can be ruled out, and malignant changes may occur in the late stage, it is only recommended to review the lung nodule once every three months in the early stage, and once every half a year or a year in the long term if the lung nodule is stable.
If the lung nodule increases in size during the period of review, it is necessary to pay enough attention to it and carry out lung puncture and surgical resection in time to determine the nature of the tumor. Once diagnosed as lung cancer, it is necessary to carry out surgery and radiotherapy in time.
