Could pleural thickening be lung cancer?

Could pleural thickening be lung cancer?

1. Pleural thickening is mostly caused by pneumothorax, tuberculous pleurisy, and chronic suppurative pleurisy. Patients will have varying degrees of fever, cough, spitting and other symptoms. Most of them will gradually improve after anti-inflammatory treatment, and the patient's symptoms of weight loss and anemia are not obvious.

2. Pleural thickening refers to the fibrosis caused by fibrin deposition and granulation tissue proliferation in patients on the basis of pleural lesions, which is a phenomenon of increased thickness.

3. Pleural thickening does not necessarily mean lung cancer. Some patients believe that there is an inevitable connection between pleural thickening and lung cancer, which is wrong.

Can lung cancer bone metastasis be cured?

If lung cancer bone metastasis is in the state of oligometastasis, that is, an intermediate state of tumor metastasis, it is a transitional stage between local primary lesions and extensive distant metastases. The number of metastases is limited and organ-specific, but it does not yet have a tendency to spread throughout the body. It can be cured through surgery or radiotherapy.

After lung cancer patients develop bone metastasis, if they can be given effective treatment in time, many of them can achieve clinical cure. The most important treatments for this type of patients include the following aspects: The treatment for the bones at the metastatic site is mainly radiotherapy, which can effectively relieve the pain in the bones at the metastatic site and effectively control the patient's bone metastasis.

The life span of lung cancer is also closely related to the patient's physical function. Only with good physical function and strong immunity can one resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments.
