Management of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules
The workup and management of the solitary pulmonary nodule is an increasingly common and confounding clinical problem for which a uniformly accepted approach has yet to be established. Conventional radiologic literature has suggested a number of imaging characteristics of nodules such as size, cavitation, growth rate, and margin morphology to guide the physician in clinical management. More rec...
متن کاملThe Role of Nuclear Medicine in The Diagnosis and Management of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules
Solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a frequent finding on the chest x-ray and computed tomography. Nuclear medicine techniques play an important role in the diagnosis and management of SPN. In the current review, we briefly will explain the different nuclear medicine modalities in this regard including positron emission tomography (PET) using 18-F-FDG, and 11-C-Methionine, and single photon em...
متن کاملComment on the Management of Thyroid Nodules: An Optimum Approach.
We read the interesting Editorial by Najmul Islam and Asma Ahmed published in JCPSP, Vol. 21 (8): 447-49 about the judicious management of thyroid nodules, where the authors focused the most important aspects involving incidentalomas, clinical challenges, diagnostic tools, and treatment procedures.1 The cost-effectiveness of more sophisticated imaging modalities and of surgical procedures was h...
متن کاملManagement of Pulmonary Nodules by Community Pulmonologists
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary nodules (PNs) are a common reason for referral to pulmonologists. Th e majority of data for the evaluation and management of PNs is derived from studies performed in academic medical centers. Little is known about the prevalence and diagnosis of PNs, the use of diagnostic testing, or the management of PNs by community pulmonologists. METHODS: Th is multicenter observationa...
متن کاملBiomarkers to help guide management of patients with pulmonary nodules.
RATIONALE Indeterminate pulmonary nodules are a common radiographic finding and require further evaluation because of the concern for lung cancer. OBJECTIVES We developed an algorithm to assign patients to a low- or high-risk category for lung cancer, based on a combination of serum biomarker levels and nodule size. METHODS For the serum biomarker assay, we determined levels of carcinoembry...
