Benign nodules are noncancerous and do not spread to other parts of the body. Malignant nodules are cancerous and can spread quickly.

But, it can cause breathlessness, chest pain, back pain, and weight loss when caused due to lung cancer. If it is a noncancerous one, its treatment depends on the cause. Cancerous lung nodules are removed using thoracotomy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
