Abstract
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the detection rate of Ground Glass Opacity (GGO) nodules through high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). GGO is an imaging finding that encompasses various pathological types, some of which exhibit indolent growth, while others may represent early lung cancer or remain relatively stable, not significantly impacting the surgical treatment outcome. In clinical practice, patients often experience psychological anxiety when multiple pulmonary GGO nodules are present, and they may request simultaneous resection. However, there is currently no standardized criterion for determining when multiple GGO nodules should be resected. As personalized medicine continues to advance, the treatment approach for multiple pulmonary GGO nodules needs to prioritize accuracy. High-risk factors associated with multiple pulmonary GGO nodules may necessitate surgical intervention along with mediastinal lymph node dissection or sampling. This article provides a review of the characteristics, treatment methods, and clinical experiences related to multiple pulmonary GGO nodules, offering practical insights and guidance for healthcare professionals.
