Overview
Primary prevention of solitary pulmonary nodule includes avoidance of active and passive smoking, exposure to asbestos, and high risk occupational jobs.
Primary Prevention
The following preventive measures may reduce the risk of malignancy among patients with pulmonary nodules:[1]
- Avoidance of active and passive smoking[2]
- Avoid or limit exposure to cancer-causing chemicals
- Eating a healthy and balanced diet
- Foods with high content of beta carotene, retinoids, selenium, and multivitamins demonstrate a protective effect against malignancy in pulmonary nodules.[3]
