Is there a family history of lung nodules at risk?

Cancer family history is an important reference factor for whether a patient's lung lesions are malignant, under normal circumstances, when there are malignant tumor patients in the immediate family, the patient himself has a higher risk of cancer, but it is only an increased risk of cancer, which does not mean that the lung lesions must be malignant, after all, people with family history can also get pneumonia and other diseases.

Of course, there are also mild differences in family history, such as male lung cancer patients who have smoked for a lifetime, who have lung cancer in old age, and no one else in the family has tumors, then the mildness of this family history is low, and the risk of cancer in the offspring is not necessarily high, but some patients have multiple tumor patients on both parents, so the probability of cancer in the patient is large.

Then back to the topic of lung nodules, lung nodules are common manifestations caused by a variety of diseases, benign and malignant, the most common or infection or lung scars caused by physical and chemical factors, a small number of are malignant, if from the imaging point of view biased benign, we will not take family history as a decisive factor in judging benign and malignant, but if the lung nodules are biased to malignant, then family history is very important, we will sometimes more actively recommend patients to further visit the thoracic surgery department, if necessary surgical removal. #Enjoy Breathing Super Energy##智慧助老首席推荐官 #
