Abstract

Abstract: Abstract: The detection rate of solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is significantly increased with the widespread application of chest computed tomography (CT) scans. Therefore, there is rising demand and expectation for more accurate diagnostic tests to characterize SPN. The different diagnostic methods currently used in clinical practice have their advantages and disadvantages. This article reviews the literature pertaining to SNP diagnosis and treatment strategy and above mentioned concerns according to Fleischner society, American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) screening guideline.
