A member asked:
Can bronchitis cause lung nodules?please mom had bronchitis in april-chest xray negative-now she had chest xray july now has nodule- worried of cancer
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No,: bronchitis won't cause lung nodules. Did the radiologist reading the second chest X-ray have the first to compare with? Just comparing reports is not adequate. If it really is new, chest CT to characterize the nodule and look for additional nodules would be next.

Hi I had a chest X-ray which came back clear. I then had a Ctpa scan done which also came back clear for lung masses,nodules and a list of other things. Is this enough to rule out lung cancer. Im extremely worried. Thank you ?
My mom was diagnosed with bilateral nodules in the lungs by a chest X-ray and CT scan. The doctor told her that her system is good and there is no sign or symptom of any disease. But i'm worried. What should I do?
I called the dr this last week due to coughing up blood. He performed a chest x-ray and found a nodule on my left lung base. He ordered a cat scan. How worried should I be that this is cancer? Both of my grandfathers passed from lung cancer?
