Pulmonary nodules are a common diagnostic problem in the daily clinical routine of radiologists, pulmonologists, and oncologists, as well as thoracic surgeons and radiation oncologists. The challenge in the management of pulmonary nodules lies in the necessity to identify the few lung cancers within the vast majority of benign nodules. This diagnostic dilemma is even more pronounced in patients who are undergoing lung cancer screening, which is performed in otherwise healthy heavy smokers with a high risk for lung cancer.
This book provides an in-depth, up-to-date overview of all the different aspects of the management of pulmonary nodules. World-renowned experts in this field have written the chapters in this book. The book focuses on different aspects of lung cancer screening, the management and diagnosis of solid and sub-solid pulmonary nodules, and last, but not least, also on the different treatment strategies of pulmonary nodules.
