need help with my sycamore tree

Need help with my sycamore tree. It has a hollow spot in the trunk from the ground to about 12 inches high. I don’t know if I need to treat it or leave it alone or even fill it with dirt or real good soil. Please help me, as I don’t want it to die. It has been there a very long time and is taller than my house.
