These include lung nodules (spots) found in routine\u202fimaging\u202f\u2014 like chest X-rays or\u202fcomputed tomography\u202f(CT) scans \u2014 or in lung cancer\u202fscreening\u202fCTs. Up to 25% of patients may have abnormalities found through lung imaging, however, most of these patients do not have lung cancer.<\/p>\n<p>If your tests show you have lung cancer, we will guide you through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredhutch.org\/en\/diseases\/lung-cancer\/screening-diagnosis.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">diagnosis<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredhutch.org\/en\/diseases\/lung-cancer\/treatment.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">treatment<\/a> process.
