Pulmonary nodules are often encountered by respiratory physicians, radiologists and thoracic surgeons alike. The European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery and the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons established a multidisciplinary collaboration of clinicians (task force) with expertise in managing pulmonary nodules with the aim of producing the first joint comprehensive review of the scientific literature, with a specific focus on the management of pure ground-glass opacities and part-solid nodules. The scope of the document has been defined by the European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery and European Society of Thoracic Surgeons governing bodies and focuses on 6 main areas of interest agreed upon by the task force. These include managing solitary and multiple pure ground-glass nodules and solitary part-solid nodules and identifying the non-palpable lesion, the role of minimally invasive surgery and the decision making behind sublobar versus lobar resection. 

呼吸科医生、放射科医生和胸外科医生都经常遇到肺结节。欧洲心胸外科协会和欧洲胸外科医师学会建立了由具有肺结节管理专业知识的临床医生（工作组）组成的多学科协作组织，目的是首次对科学文献进行联合全面审查，特别关注纯磨玻璃样阴影和部分实性结节的管理。本文件的范围由欧洲心胸外科协会和欧洲胸外科医师学会理事机构定义，重点关注工作组商定的6个主要关注领域。其中包括管理孤立性和多发性纯毛玻璃样结节和孤立性部分实性结节，并识别不可触及的病灶，微创手术的作用以及肺叶下与肺叶切除后的决策。
