change in cavity size
Explanation:
Your term refers to a change in cavity size. You don't give the rest of the text, so I don't know if it's an increase or a decrease.

"Pulmonary cavities are thick-walled abnormal gas-filled spaces within the lung. They are usually associated with a nodule, mass, or area of consolidation. A fluid level within the space may be present. Plain radiography and CT form the mainstay of imaging."
According to the Fleischner Society, pulmonary cavities are defined as "a gas-filled space, seen as a lucency or low-attenuation area, within pulmonary consolidation, a mass, or a nodule."
