Is the patchy high-density shadow in the lungs lung cancer?

Patchy high-density shadows in the lungs are not necessarily lung cancer, but may also be caused by benign diseases such as pneumonia or tuberculosis.

Patchy high-density shadows in the lungs may be caused by lung inflammation, which is mainly due to decreased immunity and infection by viruses, bacteria or mycoplasma, leading to inflammatory lesions in the lungs. After the disease is cured, it may cause local old scars, thus forming high-density shadows, which usually do not require special treatment. It may also be tuberculosis, a lung disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. After the disease is cured, it may cause old scars in the lungs. No special treatment is required, but regular check-ups are required. However, it is not ruled out that it may be lung cancer. It may be due to malignant tumor lesions in the lungs, which are prone to high-density shadows during examination, and there may be burrs on the edges, accompanied by symptoms such as coughing up blood and chest pain.

It is recommended to cooperate with the doctor for further examination. If lung cancer is confirmed, you should actively cooperate with the doctor to take treatment, such as surgical treatment, further chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. after surgery, to control the progression of the disease and prolong the patient's survival.
