ABSTRACT
Due to the high etiological diversity and the potential for malignancy, pulmonary nodules represent a clinical challenge, becoming increasingly frequent as the number of CT examinations rises. The topic gains even more importance as clear evidence for the effectiveness of CT screening was provided by the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST). Yet, the results were tempered by the high false-positive rate and the requirement of performing further diagnostic procedures. The management of those detected solitary pulmonary nodules is currently based on the individuals' risk of developing lung cancer, the pulmonary nodule characteristics and the capability of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
