6 mm lung nodule guidelines
What are lung nodules and what sneaky thing causes them?
Lung nodules are small growths found in lung tissue. Pulmonary nodules can be benign or cancerous. Benign nodules are caused by diseases which cause inflammation of lung tissue. Infections and autoimmune diseases are the most common causes of benign nodules on lungs.
What does it mean if you have a lung nodule?
A lung nodule is a small growth on the lung and can be benign or malignant. The growth usually has to be smaller than 3 centimeters to qualify as a nodule. Benign nodules are noncancerous, typically not aggressive, and do not spread to other parts of the body. Malignant nodules are cancerous and can grow quickly.
What is a 6 mm pulmonary nodule?
A 6 mm (in diameter) nodule is a small nodule by conventional standards and thus, most likely, to be benign. A 6 mm nodule is unlikely to be the source of blood in one’s sputum and definitely would be unrelated to the acute onset of shortness of breath.
What is a 6mm nodule?
A 6mm nodule is quite a small nodule and the smaller a nodule, the more likely it is to be benign. The overwhelming number of nodules this size are a residual of past infection and are of no consequence.

Nodule > 6 mm • Follow up CT scan at 6-12 months • 3rd CT in 2 years ( year 3) • 4th CT in 2 years ( year 5) • Total follow up is 5 years Solitary Sub-solid Nodule > 6 mm • Pure ground glass nodules that are 6 mm or larger may be followed safely for 5 years. • Growth is seen in an average of 3-4 years or less

Usually a small nodule (less than 9 mm) is not a cancer, but it still could be an early cancer. The best ways to tell if a small nodule is possibly cancer are by: 1. Seeing how it looks on the LDCT scan, and 2. Seeing whether it grows over time. Small Lung Nodules: What You Need to Know How likely is the nodule an early lung cancer? Most small ...

These guidelines are based on a greatly improved understanding of the natural history of solid and subsolid (pure ground glass and part-solid) lung nodules gleaned from CT based lung cancer screening trials performed over the last decade.
