肺磨玻璃结节的诊治策略

Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Ground-glass Nodules

近年来,随着高分辨率计算机断层扫描(high resolution computed tomography, HRCT)肺癌筛查项目的开展,越来越多的肺磨玻璃结节(ground-glass nodule, GGN)被发现。由于GGN的出现常常提示与肺癌相关,因此本文对其分类、影像、病理、随访和手术等临床关注的相关问题加以综述。

Recent widespread use of high resolution computed tomography(HRCT) for the screening of lung cancer have led to an increase in the detection rate of very faint and smaller lesions known as ground-glass nodule(GGN). However, it had been proved that GGN was well associated with lung cancer in previous studies. Therefore, the classification, imaging characteristics, pathological type, follow-up, suggested managements and other clinical concerns of GGN were reviewed in this paper.
