What place does lung cancer have to ache?
summary
Lung cancer metastasis is a very common clinical phenomenon, which is also one of the important causes of death of lung cancer patients. The ways of lung cancer metastasis include direct invasion, lymphatic metastasis, blood metastasis and so on. Then where is the most common site of lung cancer metastasis and where is the pain of lung cancer? Let's talk about it.
What place does lung cancer have to ache?
1. Brain metastasis of lung cancer: headache, vomiting, visual impairment, personality and temper change of lung cancer patients without cause may be caused by intracranial hypertension or brain nerve damage caused by lung cancer metastasis to brain. Common in small cell lung cancer, adenocarcinoma type. Brain metastasis symptoms of lung cancer: headache is the most common symptom, vomiting often occurs when headache is intense, characterized by jet vomiting; In addition to the common symptoms mentioned above, brain metastases of lung cancer can also appear recurrence, paroxysmal amaurosis, sudden collapse, disturbance of consciousness, increased blood pressure, slow pulse, severe cases can produce brain hernia due to tumor compression, resulting in respiratory arrest, endangering the life of patients. In addition, in recent years, due to the widespread application of brain CT examination in lung cancer patients, many asymptomatic patients with brain metastases have been found, which has won time for treatment. Therefore, brain CT should be regarded as routine examination in patients with lung cancer, in order to find brain metastasis as soon as possible.
2. Bone metastasis of lung cancer: 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. Bone metastasis symptoms of lung cancer: bone metastasis symptoms 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. Spinal cord metastases cause pain in the middle of the back or the affected area, while bone metastases in the limbs or trunk cause localized pain in this area. Bone metastasis is not the direct cause threatening the life of lung cancer patients, but if the tumor is transferred to the body bearing bone, such as cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine and other parts, it can cause serious consequences of paralysis. Therefore, the patients with bone metastasis of lung cancer should be treated in time.
3. Liver metastasis of lung cancer: 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. Liver metastasis symptoms of lung cancer: 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.
matters needing attention
The metastasis of lung cancer indicates that it has reached the advanced stage, and the condition has been very serious. We should actively take effective measures to control the development of the disease. Radiotherapy for advanced lung cancer is a better method, CyberKnife is the most advanced radiotherapy, CyberKnife treatment of advanced lung cancer, can effectively control the development of the disease, effectively prolong the life of patients.
