Will lung nodules turn into lung cancer

Will lung nodules turn into lung cancer?

1. Lung nodules will not turn into lung cancer, but some clinical manifestations of early lung cancer, such as lung nodules, should be promptly examined by lung CT scans every three to six months in the first two years. If there is no obvious change in the lung nodules within two years, it is a benign lesion and no special treatment is required clinically.

2. If the nodule grows significantly during follow-up, puncture or nodule resection should be performed and sent to the pathology laboratory to determine whether malignant changes have occurred. If malignant changes have occurred, clinical staging should be performed. According to clinical staging, it can be determined whether the patient needs further extended surgical resection and whether adjuvant treatment is needed, which can further improve the patient's treatment effect and reduce the probability of recurrence and metastasis.

3. Patients should also pay attention to a light diet during the treatment, such as eating some noodles, fish, eggs, milk, rice porridge, etc. It is also recommended that patients eat some fresh fruits and vegetables, such as dragon fruit, grapefruit, grapes, pineapple, watermelon, pear, broccoli, cucumber, spinach, tomato, eggplant, etc. The patient's diet must be regular, do not overeat, do not eat some cold, greasy, spicy, and irritating foods, and the patient's diet must be hygienic. Only in this way can it be beneficial to the patient's health.
