What is the treatment for calcified lung nodules?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends on: the pattern of calcification. If the nodule is completely calcified, then it is benign, and requires no treatment. If not, then depending on the pattern of calcification and other nodule characteristics, it may require biopsy, follow up, or possibly nothing.
