A member asked:

Ct showed 5.6mm noncalcified lung nodule. are noncalcified or calcified nodules more likely to be cancerous. 43 nonsmoker. should i do follow up ct?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say,,: It's hard to say if a non-calcified lung nodule is more likely to be cancerous. I don't know if a study like that was done. Having said this, there are diseases like tuberculosis that produce calcified lung nodules, and other various cancers that can do it as well. The best course here would be to get follow up visits and other lab tests that could rule out cancer from your doctor. Good luck.
