Frequently Asked Questions About Lung Nodules
What is a lung (pulmonary) nodule?
A solitary lung nodule is a lung mass measuring less than 3 centimeters in diameter. These nodules most often prove to be benign (non-cancerous) tumors, however, 20 to greater than 65 percent may progress to becoming a malignant form of cancer – especially in older adults and smokers.
