What about pulmonary nodules? How long do they live?

With the development of medicine and the improvement of people's concern for health, some uncommon diseases or potential health problems are constantly being discovered. "Pulmonary nodules" is one of the problems. At present, with the wide application of CT examination, more and more pulmonary nodules have been found. Take myself as an example. In the annual physical examination of the unit in recent years, lung CT examination has been included in the routine items. I remember the first time I checked, more than a dozen colleagues found pulmonary nodules, and some people really benefited from it. After the problem was found, it was diagnosed as early cancer in situ through further diagnosis and treatment. Because it was found in time, it was cured by minimally invasive surgery.

Let's see what a pulmonary nodule is. Imaging (usually lung CT) examination found that the diameter was less than ≤3 cm, and the density of solid or sub-solid lung shadows increased, which could be single or multiple, without atelectasis, hilar lymph node enlargement and pleural effusion. diameter
