Symptoms of pleural metastasis of lung cancer

summary

Metastatic pleural tumor often causes exudative malignant pleural effusion, which indicates that the patient has systemic metastatic disease and the prognosis is very poor. There are three kinds of tumor metastasis to pleura, which cause malignant pleural effusion, accounting for about 75% of all malignant pleural effusion cases; Lung cancer 30%, breast cancer 25%, lymphoma 20%. Metastatic ovarian cancer accounted for 6%. Sarcomas, especially melanoma, account for 3%. 6% of patients with malignant pleural effusion never found primary cancer. Symptoms of pleural metastasis of lung cancer? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of pleural metastasis of lung cancer

Symptom 1: bone metastasis. About 50% of lung cancer patients will eventually have multiple bone metastases. In the early stage of bone metastasis, there are no symptoms. Bone isotope scanning can find the diseased bones. The symptoms of bone metastasis are related to the location and quantity of tumor metastasis. For example, chest pain caused by rib metastasis of lung cancer is mostly manifested as pain with definite tenderness points and limited chest wall.

Symptom 2: brain metastasis: headache, vomiting, visual impairment, personality and temper change of lung cancer patients may be caused by intracranial hypertension or brain nerve damage caused by lung cancer metastasis to the brain. Common in small cell lung cancer, adenocarcinoma type.

Symptom 3: liver metastasis: liver is also a common metastasis site of lung cancer, about 28-33% of lung cancer have liver metastasis. Liver metastasis is a kind of primary lung cancer, in which cancer cells fall off and invade the liver through blood circulation and grow in the liver. Liver metastasis can be single or multiple nodule metastasis. The most common symptom is pain in the liver region, which is persistent swelling pain, accompanied by anorexia, dyspepsia and other manifestations of liver function damage.
