2018, Lung CancerCitation Excerpt :We adapted positive FDG PET results as eligibility criteria for non-GGN. Before the introduction of FDG PET in the 1990s, the percentage of malignant disease for solitary lung nodules detected by plain chest X-ray or CT examination was 50–75% [13–16]. However, a meta-analysis in 2001 by Gould et al. showed that FDG-PET has 77.8% specificity, 96.8% sensitivity, and 91.2% accuracy for diagnosing primary lung cancer [17].

2016, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Additionally, the distribution of nodule pathologic features may not accurately represent the distribution of benign and malignant lesions in a more general population of patients with small pulmonary nodules because of the nature of our practice. Our total malignancy rate was 82.9%, which is high when compared with the rate of malignancy of solitary pulmonary nodules (48%) assessed thoracoscopically in a prior study [4]. Given the low number of adverse events, however, it is likely that the increased diagnostic value of the ENB technique outweighs the risk of adverse events from the technique, even in patients with benign disease.
