Does The Lobe Lateral Subpleural Nodule Measured Indicates Cancer?

I went for a C.T. Scan and the findings are: left lower lobe lateral subpleural nodule measuring 8.2 by 4.5 mm posteroinferior to this there is a 5.7 mm nodule these are noncalcified and nonspecific. There is a right upper lobe medial subpleural nodule measuring 5.7 by 5.0 no further lung nodules are identified. Should I be concerned for cancer? I have been around second hand smoke for the majority of my life and had problems with work related chemicals.

Hi

Since you have been around second hand smoke for the majority of your life and had problems with work related chemicals and now noticing nodules in your lung in CT scan i would suggest u do a biopsy from the largest space occupying lesion present in the scan to rule out malignancy.
