Reg chest ct showed 2mm lung spot that was there 6 months ago and unchanged. prior crc 1/09, hr for liver met 4/12. cea is normal. what could be cause?

Chest nodule: The good news is small. hasn't changes in 6 m & CEA normal Many tiny nodules are scars from prior infections. Standard protocol is to monitor with CT every 6 mos x 2 years and if stable not to worry.
