Most lung nodules aren’t cancerous, but the risk becomes higher with increased size. Here's what you need to know.

Smaller tumors in the lungs appear to be less likely to have spread than larger tumors among patients with asymptomatic lung cancer, suggesting that early screening may be useful in detecting ...

A fundamental assumption of lung cancer screening is that small tumors are less likely to have metastasized -- spreading to other organs -- than large tumors. But a new study by Duke Comprehensive ...
