Does that sound right?
The patient has a tiny lung nodule that the doctor is almost certain is benign. The patient is insisting on following it with regular CTs. He feels the risk of the radiation is higher than the risk of malignancy of the nodule. I've never seen the word touch used that way before. Thanks.
