What are the symptoms of pelvic metastasis of lung cancer

First of all, chest tightness and shortness of breath is a symptom of bone metastasis of lung cancer. When cancer cells invade the pleura, it can cause pleural effusion. A large amount of effusion can cause shortness of breath. Cancer cell tumor invading pleura and chest wall can cause persistent and severe chest pain.

Secondly, hoarseness is the most common symptom of bone metastasis of lung cancer. The recurrent laryngeal nerve runs down from the neck to the chest, bypasses the great vessels of the heart and goes up to the larynx, dominating the left side of the vocal organ. When lung cancer cells invade the left side of the mediastinum, the recurrent laryngeal nerve is compressed, and hoarseness occurs.

Finally, swelling of the face and neck is a common symptom of bone metastasis of lung cancer. The superior vena cava on the right side of the mediastinum will transport venous blood from the upper limbs and head back to the heart. When lung cancer cells invade the right side of the mediastinum and oppress the superior vena cava, the jugular vein will be distended due to poor reflux, resulting in edema of the face and neck. If lung cancer patients are diagnosed, they must go to the hospital regularly, so that they can understand the physical condition at the first time.
