What Is A Growing Nodule On Upper Right Lung Suggestive Of?
Hi I am a 44 years old female non smokers. about 6 years ago , my doctor found by accident a nodule on my upper right lung about 1.7 cm. since then i had a few CAT scans to keep an eye on it. a couple of months ago, my new family doc ordered CAT scan and referred me to a specialist because the nodule grow about 2mm and was suspicious to him. I am having a robotic wedge resection or lobectomy (depends on the frozen section results) scheduled on August 1. My pet scan came out normal. What is the chance that this nodule is benign? Thanks Nathalie

Hello,
Increase in size of nodule is not good. Benign or malignant nature will be confirmed by frozen section.
