Background: CT-guided trans-thoracic lung biopsy (CT-TTLB) is efficient and widely used to diagnose pulmonary nodules. After pneumothorax, the second most frequent complication is hemoptysis, which can be life-threatening. These patients often have comorbidities and are on acetylsalicylic-acid (ASA) therapy.

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the application value of computed tomography (CT) three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technology in identifying benign and malignant lung nodules and characterizing the distribution of the nodules.
Methods: CT 3D reconstruction was performed for lung nodules. Pathological results were used as the gold standard to compare the detection rates of various lung nodule signs between conventional chest CT scanning and CT 3D reconstruction techniques.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for more accurate and minimally invasive diagnostic tools to improve early detection and patient outcomes. While low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is effective for screening in high-risk individuals, its high false-positive rate necessitates more precise diagnostic strategies. Liquid biopsy, particularly ctDNA methylation analysis, represents a promising alternative for non-invasive classification of indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPNs).

Background: Patients with pulmonary subsolid nodules (SSNs) ≤ 2 cm in diameter and a consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR) ≤ 0.25 have good postoperative prognoses, but their management remains controversial.
Research Question: Does upfront surgical intervention lead to higher survival than watchful waiting in patients with SSNs diameter ≤ 2 cm and CTR ≤ 0.
