【 摘 要 】

Ground glass and part-solid nodules, collectively referred to as subsolid nodules, present a challenge in management, with a high risk of malignancy but, when malignant, demonstrating indolent behavior. Emerging data suggest longer follow-up intervals and shorter duration of follow-up is likely appropriate in these nodules. Additionally, definitive therapy is shifting to less aggressive approaches such as sub-lobar resection. Patients may benefit from individualized approaches, incorporating both patient and imaging features to determine whether treatment is necessary.
