Do benign lung tumors need chemotherapy?

In general, benign lung tumors do not require chemotherapy.

Benign lung tumors refer to benign tumors that grow in the lungs, such as hamartoma, hemangioma, fibroma, etc. These benign tumors grow slowly and do not invade surrounding tissues or metastasize to other sites. If the tumor is small and does not cause obvious symptoms, it can generally be observed regularly and does not require special treatment. However, if the tumor is large or causes obvious symptoms, such as breathing difficulties, cough, etc., surgery may be required. Also, chemotherapy is not required after surgery because the tumor does not metastasize.

Patients should seek medical attention immediately after diagnosis of benign lung tumor to discuss the most appropriate treatment plan with their doctor. The doctor may recommend regular follow-up to monitor tumor changes.
