Before popularizing science, you can compare the description on your report to see if the nodule grows on this part
Clinical studies have shown that most malignant nodules are located in the upper lobe of the lung, the right upper lobe is more common, about two-thirds of metastases are located in the lower lobe of the lung, about 60% of solitary pulmonary nodules are located in the surrounding area of the lung, and the probability of malignancy of non-calcifying pulmonary nodules close to the pulmonary fissure is low. Subpleural nodules, particularly those located in the middle or lower lobes of the lungs, should be alert to the possibility of intrapulmonary lymph nodes. Of course, you can't judge whether the nodule is a malignant tumor just by the position of the nodule length, but also look at the following four aspects.
1.Look at the size: greater than 1Solid nodules of 5 cm or mixed nodules larger than 8 mm are high-risk nodules and have a high probability of being malignant.
2. Look at the location: malignant tumors are more common in the upper lobe of the right lung.
Look at the shape: the more "eccentric" the shape of the pulmonary nodule, the more likely it is to be malignant, the so-called odd shape, including burrs, lobulation, cavities, pleural traction, etc.
Looking at the rate of growth, which requires regular medical check-ups for patients, it takes about 300-400 days for malignant nodules to double, while benign lung nodules take more than 600 days. Therefore, if a lung nodule does not grow within two years, it can generally be judged to be benign, but it is still recommended to recheck it every year. I'm Dr. Guo Lai, so what is the description of your nodules, let's discuss it together.
