Systemic metastasis of lung cancer?

summary

It is self-evident that the lung cancer is terrible for lung cancer, which is the first place in China's incidence rate and mortality rate for ten consecutive years. The reason why it has such a high mortality rate is that people can't find it as soon as possible. At least 40% of the diagnosed lung cancer patients have reached the third stage, that is, advanced stage, and the cancer cells have been transferred to other parts of the body. Systemic metastasis of lung cancer? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

Systemic metastasis of lung cancer?

Lymph node mass under the neck or armpit indicates that lung cancer has spread to lymph nodes. It first spreads to the lymph nodes around the lungs and then quickly moves to other areas of the body. The spread of lung cancer to the thoracic lymph nodes often does not cause symptoms, but when it metastasizes to the neck, armpit and other places where a large number of lymph nodes gather, you may find a lump here.

About 30% to 40% of patients with advanced lung cancer will spread to the bone, the most common is the spine, especially the area between the thoracic spine and the lower abdomen, as well as the pelvis, limbs bones. If you find bone pain, especially in the back, which is more obvious at night, it may be that lung cancer has bone metastasis. The most common symptom of bone metastases is bone pain, which is not obvious at first, such as muscle strain, and then becomes more and more serious. At the same time, patients are more likely to fracture because their bones become fragile.

At least 40% of patients with advanced lung cancer will have brain metastasis. At this time, although one-third of the patients will have no symptoms, there are still two-thirds of the patients who have headache, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination ability, difficulty in speaking, changes in vision, poor memory, changes in temperament, and even seizures due to the destruction of brain tissue and inflammation by cancer cells.

matters needing attention

In order to prevent lung cancer metastasis as soon as possible, it is necessary to carry out traditional Chinese medicine treatment after surgery and chemotherapy, and carry out regular review. Do not think that surgery, chemotherapy can rest easy and everything will be fine. Once you relax your vigilance, metastasis will appear in a few months or a year, and it will be too late to regret at that time.
