Is the lung nodule serious?

The severity of pulmonary nodules depends on the nature of pulmonary nodules, and the main analysis is as follows:

1, not serious: If CT finds that the pulmonary nodule is very small, with a diameter below 1cm, and there is no clear malignant feature, it generally only needs regular examination, and the possibility of malignancy will not exceed 1%, so you can relax your mind;

2, more serious: if the lung nodule is 1-2cm, and there are some solid components, the nodule is closely related to the surrounding blood vessels and bronchi, which is generally serious, which may be the early manifestation of lung cancer. This kind of pulmonary nodule needs close follow-up and even early clinical intervention.

If you have lung nodules, you should go to a specialist hospital for treatment. First, you have to judge the imaging characteristics. If you highly suspect that you have malignant features, you can make a puncture biopsy under the guidance of ct to clarify the nature of pulmonary nodules.
