A nodule on the lung are small masses, and usually are nothing to worry about and are benign. the doctor will keep an eye on them. If they change in size or shape, the doctor will run further tests to make sure its not cancer.
Non-small cell lung cancer represents almost 80% of all primary lung cancers.
What does mild apical lung scarring mean from the imaged lung apices?
lung cancer:primary or metastatic primary:small cell carcinoma(25%) or non-small cell carcinoma(75%) non-small cell carcinoma(75%): squamous cell carcinoma(35%), adenocarcinoma(25%), large cell carcinoma(15%)
Small cell lung cancer
Small cell lung cancer is a disease in which the cells of the lung tissues grow uncontrollably and form tumors.
Small cell carcinoma is a very rare form of lung cancer that has a very low survival rate. Someone can learn more information about small cell lung cancer from About, Wikipedia, or WebMD. Lung cancer organizations also publish information about small cell carcinoma, such as LUNGevity, the Lung Cancer Alliance, and the American Lung Association.

"Rule out early infiltrate of right lung" is information shared by your health care provider with the radiologist doing your chest x-ray. It means, "Make sure there's not a small fluid abnormality in the right lung."
Non-small cell lung cancer usually appears in the outer area of the lung. This is the more treatable/survivable of lung cancer because since it is in the periphery it can be excised (taken out) surgically.
This procedure involves removing a small part of the lung.
