Core Viewpoint - The increasing prevalence of ground-glass nodules (GGNs) in the lungs is primarily attributed to advancements in CT resolution, allowing for the detection of smaller nodules, with approximately 85% of early lung cancers identified through screening being GGNs [1][2]. Group 1: Medical Insights - Ground-glass nodules may not necessarily indicate lung cancer; they can also be associated with inflammatory changes, bleeding, or atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, necessitating a period of observation before any intervention [1][2]. - The classification of GGNs includes pure ground-glass nodules (pGGO) and mixed ground-glass nodules (mGGO), with a significant percentage of these nodules being benign upon follow-up [1][2]. - The progression of GGNs can be slow, potentially taking years to develop into invasive adenocarcinoma, and the decision for surgical intervention should consider multiple factors, including the size and characteristics of the nodules [2]. Group 2: Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective - The formation of lung nodules is attributed to both internal factors, such as weakened vital energy due to aging and lifestyle, and external factors, including infections and environmental pollution [3]. - Traditional Chinese medicine approaches to treating lung nodules include herbal remedies, acupuncture, and point therapy, aimed at improving the body's internal environment and potentially reducing or eliminating nodules [3][4]. - Preventive measures suggested include maintaining a balanced diet, regular sleep patterns, and engaging in physical activities to enhance the body's resistance to external pathogens [4].
