How to treat lymph node metastasis of lung cancer

summary

When lung cancer is in the advanced stage, it will appear diffusion and metastasis, and the clinical symptoms of metastasis to different parts will be different. When lung cancer is in the advanced stage, lymph node metastasis is a common situation. Lung cancer has no obvious symptoms in the early stage of lymph node metastasis, and lymph node enlargement will appear in the late stage. With the aggravation of the disease, there will be multiple lymph node enlargement. Under ultrasound, we can see the lymph node enlargement caused by multiple metastases, which is very similar to lymph node mass.

How to treat lymph node metastasis of lung cancer

First: with the further aggravation of the disease, the clinical symptoms of the patients will be more obvious. In the later stage, there may be superior vena cava syndrome, that is, edema of the patients' limbs, neck and head, which is very serious. This is because the tumor grows too big, blocking the blood vessels, so that there is no way to return blood.

Second: after the lymph node metastasis of lung cancer, chemotherapy will be used for treatment. If the effect of chemotherapy is more significant, the enlarged lymph nodes may shrink, which is that the focus is gradually shrinking. Some patients after chemotherapy, or even surgery to remove.

Third: but the vast majority of lung cancer after lymph node metastasis, there is no particularly good way to treat the disease, because at this time the spread of cancer cells metastasis is very serious, through the lymphatic system throughout the body, treatment is very difficult, will form a lot of new cancer patients in all parts of the body.

matters needing attention

Once lung cancer is diagnosed after lymph node metastasis, even after treatment, the prognosis is very poor. If it can be diagnosed before lymph node metastasis, and strive for surgical resection, there is still hope to be cured.
