What does negative result mean regarding small lung nodules?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not malignant: A negative result by lung biopsy of a small lung nodule means it is not malignant. Other examinations of lung biopsies are performed to examine for evidence of infection or conditions which might cause lung nodules. A negative result of ct scan on followup exam means the nodules has remained the same or less in size. Lung nodules are followed for 2 years to be sure they do not increase in size.

Too little info: What was "negative"? Did they biopsy it? Was it a pet scan, was it negative for serial growth on cxr? Ct scan? Negative is not descriptive enough. Give me more information and i will answer your concerns. Most nodules are not cancer.
