Find a DoctorUnderstanding Lung Cancer: How Doctors Assess Cancer Risk
Mar 2, 2026
Lung nodules are commonly detected on scans, but not all are cancerous. In this video, Dr Kamran Ali, Associate Director – Thoracic Surgery & Lung Transplant at Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, explains how doctors carefully assess cancer risk. Specialists evaluate factors such as the nodule's size, shape, and appearance. Small, smooth, and round nodules are often benign, whereas larger or irregular ones require closer monitoring and further investigation. Patient-related factors, including smoking history, age, and family history, also play a crucial role in risk assessment. A structured, evidence-based evaluation helps avoid unnecessary biopsies or repeated scans while ensuring timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment when required.
