3 wrz 2024 · Nodule size and growth rate, along with shape and pattern of calcification, determine a nodule’s risk of being cancerous. Small nodules often don’t require treatment.
Introduction. These revised recommendations for incidentally discovered lung nodules incorporate several changes from the original Fleischner Society guidelines for management of solid or subsolid nodules (1, 2).
5 maj 2021 · To determine whether the likelihood of lung cancer is high or low, physicians usually look at three distinct characteristics of the nodule: the size of the spot, its shape and whether the nodule is calcified.

1 sie 2024 · The Fleischner Society pulmonary nodule recommendations pertain to the follow-up and management of indeterminate pulmonary nodules detected incidentally on CT and are published by the Fleischner Society.
Most lung nodules are benign (not cancerous). Rarely, pulmonary nodules are a sign of lung cancer. Lung nodules show up on imaging scans like X-rays or CT scans. Your healthcare provider may refer to the growth as a spot on the lung, coin lesion or shadow.
We generated a list of 29 recommendations for managing the solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) that measures at least 8 to 10 mm in diameter; small, subcentimeter nodules that measure < 8 mm to 10 mm in diameter; and multiple nodules when they are detected incidentally during evaluation of the SPN.
