Bone metastasis site of lung cancer

summary

Bone metastasis of lung cancer is a common clinical situation. According to the epidemiological survey, about 40% of lung cancer patients will have bone metastasis in the late stage. The bone metastasis of lung cancer is mainly osteolytic. Of course, a small number of patients are mixed type. If you want to confirm whether the patients with lung cancer have ghost house metastasis, you should first do a series of examinations. On the one hand, you need to make a histopathological and living cell pathological diagnosis, on the other hand, you need to do an imaging examination. Let's talk about the bone metastasis site of lung cancer.

Bone metastasis site of lung cancer

First: clinically, the rib is the longest site of bone metastasis of lung cancer. In addition, it is easy to transfer to the pelvis. When it is transferred to different parts, its specific symptoms are different. When it is transferred to the ribs, it often causes chest pain, back pain, and leg pain when it is transferred to the pelvis.

Second, the main reason for bone pain is that the metastatic cancer cells destroy bone tissue, release prostaglandins, and stimulate the nerve endings in the bone intima. On the other hand, as the metastatic cancer grows up, it will be pulled to the tympanic membrane, which will easily lead to fracture over a long period of time.

Third: therefore, bone metastasis of lung cancer is also a very serious situation, the most common clinical pain is particularly serious, so we often use three-step analgesic treatment for palliative treatment to reduce the pain of patients. Now the main treatment of bone metastasis is bisphosphate.

matters needing attention

But bisphosphonates can not replace the pain treatment of bone metastases. They can be combined with opioid analgesics to relieve the pain of patients. In addition, palliative radiotherapy can be used to treat bone metastases.
