Multiple pulmonary nodules. Are they cancer?

www.lungandsle...
Multiple lung nodules is a common problem. In this case, the patient had a history of kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma). So biopsy is important to determine whether the nodules are metastatic spread of cancer.

How was the patient treated? Any followup?

Sir my husband is not feeling well because he is in lungs same condition if any advice to me that

What about spiculated lung nodules? They are reported to have a 90-100% prediction of lung cancer, is the probability really that high? How often do you have cases of spiculated lung nodules that are not cancerous?

I have a Dicom viewer and I dont trust my VA doctors. Thank you for this video

Hi,Can cross section of blood vessels appear and disapear like nodules?

[@oneseeker2]

Interesting case, how about the person, survived or not?

[@LungSleep]

Yes, they did survive. The biopsy determined the cause and directed effective treatment

My late mother had multiple nodules that kept changing. Just watching with ct scans a pet scan opps a rushed through bronscopy opps your terminal opps you have terminal cancer stage 4 small cell lung cancer

[@RhondaGebara]

What is the difference?

Sir kindly suggest me my mother hv modular lesions in the lung so what should we do

[@prophetmarie737]

Hi! I found you looking for answers about my condition. Last year in March I had an MRI that showed a small 2mm aneurysm. In April a 6mm lung nodule was found along with partial collapse right upper lung and a little fluid. A few weeks later I had my first blood clot than another. Here it is over a year later and I've had multiple blood clots, scattered ground glass opacities ( not sure of the size yet) a partial collapse lower left lung was discovered in Aug and I have factor 8/ low protein S. My Hematologist and PCP are now suspecting Lung cancer. With the information and your experience, do you think it could possibly be Lung Cancer? I have had pre- cancerous cells before when I was a teenager in the cervix twice. I am only 34. Thanks for your time and response.

[@leesh2684]

Have you gotten any updates from your doctors ? I hope you are well.

[@jefferyyounce5372]

Please convey if you smoked and how long and to include the size and if they have rigged edges? This informs others NOT to smoke.

Imagine if we focused on cancer like we are Covid. We would have way more survivors.

[@LungSleep]

Yes, I agree there are other health issues which have been forgotten about including cancer and diabetes

[@zebulonsatrap8020]

@@LungSleep No, not what I mean. We test far too less and allow progression of cancer far too oft. The whole system needs updated by a doctor with a desire to go down in history as a cancer champion (and a noble prize), developing preemptive procedures with the technologies available. The entire system is defunct, with a laissez faire attitude. Cancer screenings should be far more often and mandatory. If the world focused on cancer with the intensity of Covid we would be much better off.

Big Pharma likes to manage cancer and other illnesses instead of curing it, it's more profitable.

Are broncoscopy awful

No, bronchoscopy is performed under sedation so you are asleep and comfortable

Is pulmonary nodules or perifisural nodules something to be worried about

[@LungSleep]

All lung nodules need to be checked by a doctor. Perifissural nodules are usually benign but should be checked to make sure

[@fwdkad4001]

@@LungSleep how about the other nodule ?

[@fwdkad4001]

The size is 2.5 to 3 mm

[@LungSleep]

@@fwdkad4001 according the Fleischner Society criteria, 3mm nodules have a very low risk of cancer. They need to be checked by your doctor to determine their significance and if any further testing is required

Hi Tamina, you would need to discuss this with your doctor. I hope you found the video helpful.

What’s carcinoid rumors

[@LungSleep]

Carcinoid tumours are an uncommon lung tumour which grow slowly. They are more common in younger people and are not smoking related.

Can a 8mm nodule be biopsied

[@LungSleep]

It is very difficult when the nodule is so small. It depends on its location in the lung

[@marwanour533]

@@LungSleep oncology said lung nodules are too close to vasculature and not peripheral enough to be safe for biopsy at this time. . He did 3 ct scans and the results are :Stable pulmonary nodules measuring up to 8 mm. Since it s stable for 6 months do u think it s not cancer? Thank you for your time
