Lung nodules

A small spot on a scan — usually not cancer, but worth checking and watching carefully.

Most lung nodules are not cancer — a clear follow-up plan is the point.

What is it?

A lung nodule is a small spot on the lung, often found by chance on an X-ray or CT scan. Most nodules are not cancer — but they should be checked and, when needed, watched over time.

Signs to watch for

  • Usually no symptoms — most nodules are found on imaging done for another reason

How we treat it

The team reviews your imaging and risk factors and recommends the right follow-up — which may be periodic scans to make sure nothing is changing, or further testing when warranted.
