Natural History, Treatment, Survival, and Causes of Mortality in Patients With Subsolid and Ground-Glass Nodules: A Comprehensive Clinical Review

This review synthesizes current evidence on subsolid nodules (SSNs) and ground-glass opacities (GGOs), focusing on their natural history, treatment strategies including ablation and surgery, survival outcomes, and mortality causes. It highlights the safe observational approach for many SSNs and explores emerging minimally invasive treatments.
