This study investigates the likelihood that indeterminate lung nodules, which are PET-negative, will be diagnosed as cancerous. Indeterminate lung nodules are small growths in the lungs that cannot be easily classified as cancerous or non-cancerous. PET-negative means that the nodules did not show up on a PET scan, a type of imaging test that helps to find cancer cells.
Participants in this study will undergo either a pathologic examination, which involves testing tissue samples, or have follow-up chest CT scans over at least two years to monitor changes in the nodules. CT scans are detailed X-ray images that help doctors see inside the body.
- Who can participate: The study is open to patients with indeterminate lung nodules that are PET-negative. Participants should be willing to undergo pathologic examination or serial chest CT examinations for at least two years. Age criteria for participation may apply.
- Study details: Participants will undergo either a pathologic examination or serial chest CT scans for a minimum of two years to monitor their lung nodules.
