实性肺结节的良恶性分析
|
Abstract:
肺癌是目前发病率和死亡率居首位的恶性肿瘤,对肺癌进行早期诊断是降低死亡率的关键。早期肺癌主要表现为肺结节,目前肺结节的检出率越来越高,而其中实性肺结节是检出最多的结节类型,对实性肺结节进行良恶性鉴别是重点。本文综述了实性肺结节的影像学及临床危险因素。影像学表现如结节大小、形态、边缘特征及生长速度,结合患者的年龄、吸烟史、家族史等临床信息,有助于评估实性肺结节的良恶性。
Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest morbidity and mortality rate, and early diagnosis of lung cancer is the key to reducing the mortality rate. Early lung cancer is mainly manifested as lung nodules, and the detection rate of lung nodules is getting higher and higher, among which solid lung nodules are the most frequently detected nodule type, and it is important to differentiate the benign and malignant nature of solid lung nodules. This article reviews the imaging and clinical risk factors of solid lung nodules. Imaging manifestations such as nodule size, morphology, margin characteristics, and growth rate, combined with clinical information such as the patient’s age, smoking history, and family history, are helpful in assessing the benign or malignant nature of solid lung nodules.
