A member asked:
Lung ct scan showed small areas of ground glass opacity on upper rt. lobe consistent with mild pneumonitis. is this cancer? when should i repeat scan
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: on size of lesions and risk factors such as smoking. However, first follow up scan is typically in 3 months. More scans will follow, usually every 12 months, to make sure no cancer present.
