A new study of more than 10,000 non-smoking adults found that solid lung nodules were present in a considerable portion of study participants. Non-smokers are traditionally thought to be at low risk ...

Benign lung nodules can have a few different causes. These include current and past infections in the lungs and inflammation in the body from a condition like rheumatoid arthritis. A lung nodule is a ...

When screening patients for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (CT), raising the nodule size threshold from 5 mm to 7 or 8 mm before starting a more intensive workup could result in fewer ...

A solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is an isolated lung growth surrounded by normal tissue. Most SPNs are benign (not cancerous) when they're diagnosed. However, some nodules that enlarge and change ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning tool that estimates the malignancy risk of lung nodules achieved high cancer detection rates while significantly reducing false-positive results. Results ...

Each year, millions of pulmonary nodules are identified incidentally or through lung cancer screening, and many involve biopsy to distinguish cancer from benign processes. Both navigational ...
