title: Management of subsolid pulmonary nodules in CT lung cancer screening.
abstract: The distinct appearance and behavior of subsolid pulmonary nodules (SSNs) has resulted in separate recommendations for the management of solitary SSNs, both for incidentally detected as well as for screen detected nodules. However, these guidelines have been based primarily on expert opinion. Recently two studies were published regarding SSNs detected in low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening, including management advices.
