Advanced symptoms of lung cancer

summary

Lung cancer is a very common malignant tumor. In recent years, the incidence rate is very high in China. Because lung cancer often has no obvious symptoms in the early stage, once the symptoms are found in the hospital, it will be in the middle or late stage, and the cancer cells have spread and metastasized. Because of this reason, the possibility of lung cancer being cured in clinic is very small. Only a few patients with early lung cancer have achieved 5-year survival rate after surgical treatment, and most of them have lost their precious lives.

Lung cancer can be divided into two categories: non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. These different types of cancer cells have different parts that are easy to metastasize.
