A member asked:
Had 6 negative ct scans for a benign lung nodule in my early 40s. is my risk of cancer increased,by how much and how many years down the road?

Cannot predicy: If after all those CT scans there has benn no change in the finding, then the likelihood it is nothing to worry about. Your risk of cancer is not increased by this nodule or the CT. There are never any guarantees that you won't get cancer. A healthy life style without smoking and the like will certainly be in your favor. Good luck
