ABSTRACT
Lung cancer is the malignancy with the highest global mortality rate and imposes a substantial burden on society. The increasing popularity of lung cancer screening has led to increasing number of patients being diagnosed with pulmonary nodules due to their potential for malignancy, causing considerable distress in the affected population. However, the diagnosis and treatment of sub-centimeter grade pulmonary nodules remain controversial. The evolution of genetic detection technology and the development of targeted drugs have positioned the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer in the precision medicine era, leading to a marked improvement in the survival rate of patients with lung cancer. It has been established that lung cancer driver genes serve a key role in the development and progression of sub-centimeter lung cancer. The present review aimed to consolidate the findings on genes associated with sub-centimeter lung cancer, with the intent of serving as a reference for future studies and the personalized management of sub-centimeter lung cancer through genetic testing.
