Nowadays, more and more pulmonary ground-glass nodules are discovered, and the age of the discoverers is getting younger and younger. Looking at it, there are not a few people who have pulmonary ground-glass nodules between the ages of 20 and 40. Pulmonary ground-glass nodules have brought a lot of confusion to these friends, especially those who are more psychologically sensitive. Although some lung ground glass nodules are not large in diameter, they do seem to have the possibility of early stage lung cancer or precancerous lesions . Whether to remove it surgically or continue to observe it has become a very confusing matter.
A 40-year-old woman from Qingdao City, Shandong Province contacted me on the online consultation platform. She had a 6 mm ground glass nodule in her lungs for two years. Judging from the electronic image she sent, although the nodule is small and has not changed in two years, it does have the possibility of malignancy. It is located closer to the periphery and is easier to operate. From a positive perspective, it can be surgically removed. If you do not plan to have surgery, you can continue to observe it.
This lady left me a message, saying that she has been struggling in the past two years and does not know how to choose the right one. This lady represents the mentality of many friends who have small pulmonary ground glass nodules. My experience is that you should follow your own heart in this case, because this kind of small ground glass nodule, even if it is lung cancer, develops very slowly. If you do it earlier, do it later, it will not have a big impact on your health. , so personal choice is very important.
