With the widespread application of high-resolution and low-dose computed tomography (CT), especially the increasing number of people participating in lung cancer screening projects or health examinations, the detection of pulmonary nodules is increasing. At present, the relevant guidelines for pulmonary nodules focus on how to follow up and diagnose, but the treatment is vague. And the guidelines of European and American countries are not suitable for East Asia. In order to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules and address the issue of disconnection between existing guidelines and clinical practice, the Lung Cancer Medical Education Committee of the Chinese Medicine Education Association has organized domestic multidisciplinary experts, based on literature published by experts from East Asia, and referring to international guidelines or consensus, the "Chinese expert consensus on multidisciplinary minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules" has been formed through repeated consultations and thorough discussions. The main content includes epidemiology, natural course, malignancy probability, follow-up strategies, imaging diagnosis, pathological biopsy, surgical resection, thermal ablation, and postoperative management of pulmonary nodules.
