What is ground glass on a lung CT scan?

@godfather2- Please do not be alarmed. Ground glass is a description of cell change. When it is tiny like yours is, as the radiologist says, "it is likely benign." Ground Glass doesn't necessarily mean cancer. If the radiologist suspected cancer a biopsy ordered would probably be performed. Your GG is LESS than a less (sub) half-inch.

I have lung cancer and have several GG. It is a particular kind of lung cancer. If they grow more than a certain amount then they are considered cancer.

What type of doctor ordered your CT scan?

Thank you for the explanation , the cardiologist ordered it then saw GG

This is the scan

Hi merry so I met with oncologist today he said he would like to do the following : currently it’s 8mm (biopsies are done at 10mm) start blood work look at tumor markers go for another scan and come back on amine with follow up and watch for 2 years , how does that sound ? He sounded very optimistic
