Solitary pulmonary nodule - When to suspect lung cancer - characteristics and follow up - Approach

This is a detailed video on the approach to the solitary pulmonary nodule and deals with the imaging characteristics of a solitary pulmonary nodule as well as the approach to its management and follow-up guidelines.
The video describes the size-based criteria of diagnosis as well as follow-up for these nodules suspicious of lung cancer as well as the high-risk criteria for raising the probability of lung cancer such as smoking, advanced age, and so on..
Features such as cavitation, rim size, opacity, and appearance are all discussed in detail and its correlation to lung cancer as well as benign diseases such as metastasis and a few others are all discussed in this radiology masterclass on solitary pulmonary nodules by Dr. Kaustubh Lokhande, consultant radiologist at Lilavati hospital and research center.

8mm consolidated ground glass opacity . .what's consolidated mean??

[@edusurgclinics]

Consolidation refers to an area of homogeneous increase in lung parenchymal attenuation that obscures the margins of vessels and airway walls.

[@nkratochvil122]

@edusurgclinics Is this a 8mm nodule or what? I have to go back for another scan she said. It's apparently on the peripheral posterior lower lobe.

[@edusurgclinics]

For any nodule, consolidation means the same. As already mentioned, the management is on case to case basis. It's not a black and white thing, the scan reading so leave it to the doctors treating you and assessing your scans. Kindly Follow the treating doctor's advice.

[@nkratochvil122]

When do they biopsy the nodule?

[@edusurgclinics]

That depends on case to case basis. Each patient is different and should be treated accordingly. We always say, don't treat the scan, treat the patient. Hope that helps. Warm regards.

Is 3.9cm nodule with spiculated margins are treatable?

[@edusurgclinics]

Can be, depends on a lot of factors, but yes, 3.9 cm by itself does not become untreatable.

@@edusurgclinics Thanks

[@Stella20450]

@@bharathikannan48what was the cause of the spiculted lung nodule? Was it cancerous? Hope everything is well.

[@Stella20450]

Is spiculated lung nodule alwys cancer? studies report that they have a 90-100% prediction of being cancer, is the probability really that high?

[@edusurgclinics]

It's very probable of cancer but not always. As explained in video, a lot of factors are used to analyze each case in correlation with clinical findings.
