The symptom that lung cancer transfers to bone?
summary
The main reason why the mortality of lung cancer is so high is that its metastasis and recurrence are very strong. The primary focus of lung cancer is in the lung, but because of the metastatic nature of cancer cells, it can gradually invade adjacent organs to form new lesions. There can even be distant metastases, through the lymphatic system and the bloodstream, to the brain. This is the terrible thing about lung cancer, and it's also why the vast majority of patients can't be cured in the advanced stage of lung cancer. The main reason is that it will spread and metastasize.
The symptom that lung cancer transfers to bone?
Lung cancer with bone metastasis, which is also a very common clinical situation, in all types of lung cancer, adenocarcinoma has the highest probability of bone metastasis, followed by small cell lung cancer and squamous cell carcinoma. And the common sites of metastasis are ribs, lumbar vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, and pelvis.
The vast majority of lung cancer patients in the early stage of bone metastasis is not particularly obvious symptoms, unless it is ancient isotope scanning can be found, bone changes. But with the deterioration of the disease, patients will have pain. When it moves to different parts, the pain is different.
If it's transferred to the ribs, it's chest pain. Of course, it can also cause back pain. Some patients also have leg pain. Compared with cancer cells transferred to other organs of the body, metastasis to the bone will not bring direct harm to the lives of patients.
matters needing attention
But the occurrence of bone metastasis should also be treated in time, because if not treated in time, it may eventually cause paralysis, and the pain caused by bone metastasis is also unbearable. Now there is a drug for lung cancer bone metastasis, according to clinical experience, the effect is good.
