In recent years, with the improvement of CT resolution, the reduction of radiation dose, the popularization of lung cancer screening and the enhancement of people's health awareness, the detection rate of lung nodules is higher and higher. Due to the close relationship between lung nodules and lung cancer, more and more attention has been paid to them. Although patients with early and middle stage lung cancer receive complete resection, all postoperative patients are at risk of recurrence and metastasis. Adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy can improve the survival and reduce the recurrence and metastasis. Therefore, the multidisciplinary team, as the best model, provides a standardized and individualized plan for the diagnosis and treatment of lung nodules and lung cancer patients. However, in the clinical practice, the work efficiency of the multidisciplinary team is not high, and the participation rate of patients is low; therefore the multidisciplinary doctor model with thoracic surgeons as the mainstay is a reasonable alternative.
