(Click on the video above to play) when sitting in the clinic and in the message on the platform, I often encounter such patients, after finding out the ground-glass nodules, search for relevant information on the Internet, and then see someone say: ground-glass nodules are precancerous lesions or lung cancer, and can only be operated! I don't know if you have seen similar remarks?
So, is this statement correct? It is definitely not true, the so-called ground-glass nodules can be said to be just a form of expression of nodule density, and there are three most common types: ground-glass nodules, mixed ground-glass nodules (sub-solid nodules), and solid nodules. We know that clinically, the malignant risk probability of these three types of nodules from high to low is mixed ground-glass nodules, ground-glass nodules, and solid nodules, but it does not mean that mixed ground-glass nodules must be lung cancer, but the relative risk is higher, and the risk of solid nodules is the lowest, but it is not that you can ignore it when you see solid nodules, because although the risk of malignancy is relatively low, once lung cancer is diagnosed, it is often the highest degree of malignancy.
Therefore, no matter what kind of nodule is detected, everyone should calm down and leave it to a professional doctor to judge the risk, rather than blindly thinking that they are lung cancer, which will only increase the pressure.
Facts speak louder than words, and a large number of cases in the outpatient clinic have proved that no matter what kind of pulmonary nodules are, as long as they are systematically intervened, many of them can be reduced or even completely absorbed, so surgery is not the only option. It is also necessary to emphasize one point here: I am not against surgery, for nodules with higher risks, surgical removal is the first choice, but I am against blind surgery and over-surgery, and I should give myself a chance not to operate!
