centralità escavativa

09:59 Aug 5, 2020 

While I understand that "centralità" my refer to the entire nodule, the text here seems to talk about two distinct parts - the "cercine" and the "centralità escavativa".
"Sole" indicates that only one of the two parts has changed in size, making me think that "centralità" does not mean (the entire) "nodule" but the cavity size. It's a subtle difference, but very important here I think.

I also understand "centralità" as focus, nodule here.

Thanks for your input Liz.
"In patients with lung metastasis, cavitary change occurring in any of the lung lesions was regarded as positive. Cavitary change included new appearance of visible air cavity in solid lung metastatic lesion and increase in cavity size with decrease in solid portion of pre-existing cavitary lung metastasis after treatment. Refilling of cavitation was defined by any increase in solid portion accompanied by decrease in air containing cavity. "

This link refers to a specific clinical trial, however I suspect my text may mean that the wall thickness itself remained unchanged, while the cavity size increased, leading to a increase in the overall size of the lesion.

p.s.
I note on some sites that "centralitá" can = focus

so perhaps it is the focal cavitary lesion

this has increased in diameter, but the circumference is unchanged.

This is my understanding
