Is it lung cancer Is cough related to lung nodules

With the screening of chest CT and the promotion of health examination, thoracic surgery, respiratory surgery, and imaging departments have been introduced. After big data analysis, not all small nodules in the lungs are lung cancer, and among the 100 small nodules in the lungs, less than 30% of the lung nodules can reach the height of lung cancer, so more small nodules in the lungs found through screening and physical examination are all benign nodules. Don't panic excessively about the small nodules in the lungs, and these small nodules need the judgment of the doctor, and thoracic surgeons, respiratory surgeons and radiologists need to work together to study, discuss and decide how malignant the lesion is.

A small nodule in the lung, do not operate as soon as it is found, there must be a time for observation, of course, it is true, since we have precancerous lesions like many tumors, the small nodules in the lungs themselves belong to a type of precancerous lesions, with the increase of age, the low immunity with the small nodules in the lungs, the continuous existence of the first hormone. It does have the potential to develop into lung cancer, so we have a regular review for the small nodules in the lungs, an expert consensus of regular follow-up and our medical examiners, to tell the healthy person with small nodules in the lungs the importance of regular follow-up and regular check-ups, we will also give a review every three months, every six months, every September, or every year according to the size of the small nodules. So I would like to stress again that not all small nodules in the lungs are lung cancers.

Of course not!

Lesions within the lungs that are 3 cm in diameter are called nodules. Pulmonary nodules with a diameter of <5 mm are micronodules; Those with a diameter of 5 to 10 mm are small nodules.

Physical examination is the most important way to find early lung cancer, early lung cancer symptoms are few, and once lung symptoms appear, most of them are already advanced, clinical data show that only about 20% of patients who are clear about lung cancer due to symptoms can be operated on ** (including some local late patients), the total 5-year survival rate is only about 30%, and 90% of lung cancer patients found through physical examination are early, this part of the patients through surgery, the 10-year survival rate can reach 90%, and a large number of patients reach **.

Knowledge points of lung nodules.

Benign nodules: fibrotic tissue or induration left after recovery of pneumonia and tuberculosis, lymph nodes in the lungs, inflammatory pseudotumors, tuberculous bulbs, etc.; Benign tumors, such as hamartoma, chondroma, etc.;

Malignant nodules: lung cancer, metastatic cancer, etc.

Lung nodules are divided into pure ground-glass nodules, mixed ground-glass nodules (partially solid), and solid nodules according to the proportion of solid components (CT).

Pure ground-glass nodules: can be common inflammation, fungal infection, adenomatous hyperplasia, adenocarcinoma in situ, microinvasive or invasive carcinoma;

Mixed ground-glass nodules: the probability of malignancy is high, and it needs to be paid close attention, especially for nodules with more than 50% solid composition;

Solid nodules: although the probability of malignancy is low, once it is confirmed to be malignant, the degree of relative malignancy is high and the progression is rapid, and vigilance is also required in follow-up observation.

Probability of malignancy: mixed ground-glass nodules Ground-glass nodules Solid nodules.

What is the relationship between lung nodules and lung cancer?

If you think of the various pulmonary nodules as one big family, most of the members of this family are "good", that is, benign nodules; But there are also some members who are bad guys, malignant nodules, and will develop lung cancer.

The National Center for Lung Cancer Screening Research conducted a study on high-risk patients with lung cancer, and the results showed that more than 6,400 of the 26,722 people who underwent low-dose spiral CT screening were found to have lung nodules, and only 649 people, or 10%, were finally diagnosed with lung cancer.

In other words, there is no need to worry too much about the detection of lung nodules, as the vast majority of lung nodules do not turn into cancer, but they should not be ignored and CT should be rechecked regularly. How do you do that? First of all, according to the size and type of nodules, the probability of malignancy and the degree of danger can be judged.

Hello, lung nodules do not mean lung cancer. For pulmonary nodules that are first discovered, especially lesions smaller than 10 mm, regular follow-up is generally adopted. However, these two cases are somewhat special in that they have different imaging appearances.

The former was chosen between the choice of aggressive surgery and conservative observation. Intraoperative rapid pathology confirmed that it was "carcinoma in situ", and in addition to local resection, lymph nodes that may metastasize were removed. One case was reported as "minimally invasive adenocarcinoma" after surgery.

Therefore, lung nodules should be taken seriously, although lung nodules do not mean lung cancer.

Pulmonary nodules usually refer to round-like or irregularly shaped lesions with a diameter of 3 cm found on imaging (x-ray or CT). Round-like lesions with a diameter of 2 cm are also called small lung nodules, and are divided into three categories according to the density of the nodules: pure ground-glass nodules, mixed ground-glass nodules, and solid nodules.

Among the small nodules in the lungs, 60 -70 are benign nodules (inflammation, local bleeding, tuberculosis, fibrosis, etc.), and 30 -40 are malignant nodules, so please do not panic if you find small nodules in the lungs, small nodules in the lungs are not equal to lung cancer.

Lung nodules are not equal to lung cancer, most of the lung nodules are benign tumors, for the first time found lung nodules, especially lesions less than 10mm, first of all, you must go to the hospital for regular reexamination, lung nodules can not be left alone, cancerous may occur, you have to go to the hospital to accept**You can use minimally invasive**, you can also use traditional Chinese medicine conservative** control to restore the condition.

Not necessarily, the appearance of pulmonary nodules and lung shadows may be caused by inflammatory infection, tuberculosis, lung cancer, hamartoma, etc., and further chest CT and pathological biopsy examination are recommended.

You can do a CT scan to distinguish it carefully, or do some laboratory tests about the tumor, and you can rest assured. The nature of the nodule can be many, and to diagnose cancer, it is necessary to find the cancer cells clearly, and tracheoscopic pathology is recommended.

Either the nodules in the lungs are found to be tumors, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc., and not only lung cancer is manifested as "lung nodules", in fact, the most common lung nodules may be tuberculosis, which is the most common lung nodules.

It's not lung cancer, it's okay to be serious, my friend's lung nodules have been cured. Maintain a good attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor.

Not necessarily, there are many reasons for the appearance of lung shadows (nodules in the lungs), the most common are inflammatory infection, tuberculosis, lung cancer, in addition, it should also be distinguished from hamartoma, connective tissue disease, hemangioma, teratoma, etc.

Tuberculosis is not lung cancer. Tuberculosis is a bacterium and an infectious disease.

Lung cancer is a cell, and cancer cells are not contagious. The two are not the same disease.

Lung nodules are not cancerous, but the alveoli are damaged and die to form scar tissue. However, it is necessary to find out**, and the symptom is fine. Prevent further progression of the disease.

Lung nodules are not cancerous, but they are considered tumors.

No, this can be good, cancer is more suspenseful.

There are three main types of pulmonary nodules: inflammatory, benign and malignant. If it is an inflammatory nodule and is caused by an infection, it may cause cough in some patients; If the nodule is benign or malignant, cough will not appear in the early stage, but it will appear as the nodule gradually increases.

Pulmonary nodules should be followed up under the guidance of a physician after they are found, and intervention is required if the nodules become larger in the follow-up patients.

No, I have a colleague who has several nodules in his lungs and no cough in his lungs during a recent physical examination, and I promise to have a physical examination once a year, and there is no problem if the nodules do not get bigger, so the doctor generally says so.

Hello, according to your description, lung nodules may be caused by a variety of reasons, such as infection, tuberculosis, hyperplasia and even tumors, generally less than 6mm of solitary nodules are mostly benign, it is recommended that regular review CT can be carried out at intervals of three months to six months, if there is no change, it can be extended to a year to recheck, if there is no change in the continuous review for three years, it is not necessary to recheck again, if there is an enlargement, further examination should be carried out to strengthen CT, tumor markers, needle biopsy or PET-CT to clarify its nature, if necessary, surgery**.

Lung nodules are not necessarily cancer. If a chest x-ray finds a lung nodule, it has several possibilities, first of all, it may be a lung tumor as I said, but it is not necessarily a malignant tumor, cancer refers to a malignant tumor.

Some time ago, my mother was also examined with lung nodules and flaky shadows, and an irresponsible doctor insisted that it was lung cancer, and as a result, she went to a special hospital for a series of tests and was diagnosed with pneumonia and some other lung diseases. It can be seen that lung nodules may be other diseases such as pneumonia or tuberculosis, and are not necessarily lung cancer.

You can ask the doctor if it is necessary to do a strengthened CT, **at about 1W, you can see the lesions on the body more clearly**, and judge the lesions.

I wish your mother a speedy **.

Lung nodules are generally not lung cancer, as there are many pathologies of lung nodules

A pulmonary nodule is a round or oval image of the lungs that appears less than 3 centimeters. Usually, it is found incidentally on an X-ray or CT scan, and most people with pulmonary nodules do not have symptoms.

1.Cough or bloody sputum.

2.Shortness of breath or wheezing.

3.Chest pain or back pain.

4.Fatigue or weight loss.

It is important to note that lung nodules do not necessarily represent lung cancer. In fact, about 95% of lung nodules are benign (non-cancerous). The main causes of these non-cancerous lung nodules include lung infection, tuberculosis, lung inflammation, lymphoid tissue proliferation in the lungs, etc.

However, about 5% of lung nodules are malignant, meaning they are lung cancers. Therefore, for people with pulmonary nodules, further examination and evaluation should be carried out in time to determine whether it is a malignant tumor and to bend as appropriate.

In short, if you find that you have lung nodules, please consult a medical professional in time and receive the examination and treatment recommended by the doctor. This will help identify potential health problems early and protect your physical health.
