ABSTRACT
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Denmark and the world. The increase in CT examinations has led to an increase in detection of pulmonary nodules divided into solid and subsolid (including ground glass and part solid). Risk factors for malignancy include age, smoking, female gender, and specific ethnicities. Nodule traits like size, spiculation, upper-lobe location, and emphysema correlate with higher malignancy risk. Managing these potentially malignant nodules relies on evidence-based guidelines and risk stratification. These risk stratification models can standardize the approach for the management of incidental pulmonary findings, as argued in this review.
