Advanced symptoms of diffuse lung adenocarcinoma?

summary

Lung adenocarcinoma is a kind of lung cancer, which belongs to non-small cell carcinoma. Different from squamous cell lung cancer, lung adenocarcinoma is more likely to occur in women and non-smokers. It originated from bronchial mucosa epithelium, and a few from mucinous glands of large bronchus. The incidence rate is lower than that of squamous cell carcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma, and the incidence age is relatively small. Most adenocarcinoma originated from the smaller bronchus, which is peripheral lung cancer. In the early stage, there are no obvious clinical symptoms, which are often found in chest X-ray examination. The tumor is round or oval in shape, usually grows slowly, but sometimes hematogenous metastasis occurs in the early stage. Lymph node metastasis occurred later. Advanced symptoms of diffuse lung adenocarcinoma? Let's talk about it

Advanced symptoms of diffuse lung adenocarcinoma?

The symptoms of advanced lung cancer will be different due to the different constitution of patients. The condition of advanced lung cancer is more serious, and it needs timely symptomatic treatment. Pain is a common symptom in patients with advanced lung cancer. Most patients with lung cancer who have regional intrathoracic dissemination have symptoms of chest pain.

Hoarseness is one of the late symptoms of lung cancer. The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), which controls the left vocal function, descends from the neck to the chest, bypasses the great blood vessels of the heart and goes up to the larynx, thus dominating the left side of the vocal organ. Therefore, if the tumor invades the left side of the mediastinum and compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve, hoarseness will occur, but there are no other symptoms of sore throat and upper respiratory tract infection.

Facial and neck edema is also a common symptom of advanced lung cancer. If the tumor invades the right mediastinum and compresses the superior vena cava, the jugular vein will be inflamed at first due to poor reflux, and finally it will lead to facial and neck edema, which needs timely diagnosis and treatment. Shortness of breath and pleural effusion are also the symptoms of advanced lung cancer.
