Diffuse symptoms of advanced lung cancer

Lung cancer is painful. 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.
