Lastly, surgical evaluation is difficult. One study reports that 63% of subcentimeter nodules positioned more than 5 mm from the pleura are not found by VATS; this rate is 100% for those more than 10 mm from the pleura. Advances in imaging and biopsy technologies, as well as biomarker development, are being used to improve the evaluation of these nodules.
