GGOs and Malignancy on Lung CT
Hey all,
I was wondering what people though about this article on some findings presented at the Vienna conference regarding GGOs and malignancy:
http://www.auntminnie.com/print/print.asp?sec=sup&sub=cto&p...
"Overall, the researchers found that patient age, persistence of GGOs over time, irregular shape, the presence of pleural retraction, and other factors generally yielded a higher risk of malignancy. However, some features such as large size, normally suggestive of an elevated malignancy risk, were also associated with benign etiologies, highlighting the need for frequent follow-up."
Is there anybody who's down there and saw these presented?

retrospectively yes have come across these..looking at the CT images in the article. But prospectively the article will help to look more carefully taking in to account the features mentioned. Thanks for sharing.

I will read about this but did not see it presented. I have found in my own practice that GGOs are more scary and I also tend to follow or be more aggressive in terms of f/u with them. Other features mentioned in the article are also findings that also raise my suspicion in clinical practice and makes common sense...
