Active surveillance of lung subsolid nodules reduces unnecessary surgery and overtreatment

(International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer) Subsolid nodules (SSN) can be considered a biomarker of lung cancer risk and should be managed with long-term active surveillance. Conservative management of SSN will reduce unnecessary surgery and overtreatment in patients with multiple comorbidities and aggressive lung cancer arising from lung sites other than the SSN.
