Epidermal growth factor receptor mutations: Effect on volume doubling time of non-small-cell lung cancer patients
2014, Journal of Thoracic OncologyCitation Excerpt :To determine the natural history of pulmonary masses, most recent studies have investigated changes in VDT by measuring pulmonary nodules detected on chest CT scan rather than those detected on chest radiograph.3,7,8 Tumor VDT helps to distinguish between benign and malignant lesions21 and is thought to provide a useful index of lung cancer aggressiveness.2,8 In addition, tumor VDT differed significantly among histology types.

2012, BloodCitation Excerpt :The other half are mostly the result of infectious granulomata from mycobacteria or fungi and much less commonly from other infrequent benign etiologies, such as hamartomas, sarcoidosis, or arteriovenous malformations. The differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules in patients who are not immunocompromised has been reviewed in multiple publications.8-11 Radiographic features described in “How do I make the diagnosis” can be useful in distinguishing the likelihood of benign or malignant etiology.
