Abstract
The natural history of GGO-containing tumors, i.e., subsolid nodules (SSNs), is a major concern not only in CT lung cancer screening, but in daily clinical practice. SSNs are classified into pure ground-glass nodules (GGNs) and part-solid GGNs on the basis of their consistency. SSNs are classified according to their status as transient or persistent. Articles in the literature related to the natural history or long-term follow-up results of SSNs are summarized in Table. In the largest CT lung cancer screening cohort reported to date, nonsolid nodules (synonymous with pure GGNs) and part-solid nodules were detected in 4.2% (2392 of 57,496) and 5.0% (2892 of 57,496), respectively, of the participants at baseline (Table).
