Abstract:
The advent of computed tomography screening for lung cancer will increase the incidence of ground-glass opacity (GGO) nodules detected and referred for diagnostic evaluation and management.GGO nodules remain a diagnostic challenge,and we present the latest advances in the radiologic imaging and pathology of GGO nodules,demonstrating that radiologic features are increasingly predictive of the pathology of GGO nodules.We review the current guidelines from sevsral academies,and we discuss the management and follow-up of GGO nodules.Minimally invasive tissue biopsies and the marking of GGO nodules for surgery are new and rapidly developing fields.The standard-of-care surgical treatment of early lung cancer is still minimally invasive lobectomy with systematic lymph node dissection.However,recent research has shown that some GGO lesions may be treated with sublobar resections;these findings may expand the surgical treatment options available in the future.
