A member asked:

My wifes last xray revealed a 2 cm nodule on her lung what could be the causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Multiple causes : I'd need to know a lot more about her. Does/did she smoke? Have any chemical exposures? Why did she have the X-ray? Any history of cancer in the past? Does she have fever, chills, terrible night sweats? Weight loss? 2 cm is pretty big. She needs further evaluation.
