Is a 5cm nodule usually cancer?
I just had a CT scan for my heart and a 5 cm nodule in the lower lobe of my right lung was found. Is this usually cancer?
Hi
, although 5cm is not small, many nodules turn out to be nothing, but in my opinion,definitely worth watching or biopsied, depending on the location and what your medical care team decides. Did your doctor order a PET scan or give you an indication of your next steps? Please feel free to share more, we are here for you. Warmly, Alisa, LungCancer.net Team
