Lung Cancer Risk in Suspicious Lung Nodules With Negative Positron . . . For LungRADS-4 PET-negative lesions the cancer risk remained high despite a lack of activity on PET As such we believe the current surveillance practice of continuing to follow LungRADS-4 PET-negative patients as LungRADS-4 patients is appropriate
Lung Cancer Risk in Suspicious Lung Nodules With Negative Positron . . . In conclusion the results of our study showed that the rate of lung cancer diagnosis in LungRADS-4 PET-negative patients was high, with a 22% diagnosis rate, which is similar to rates projected by the ACR for LungRADS-4 patients (5% to >15%)
