Is sweating good or bad for lung cancer

Is sweating good or bad for lung cancer?

Sweating in lung cancer patients is generally not a good thing. It may be related to infection, tumor absorption of heat, and distant metastasis of lung cancer. The details are as follows:

1. Infection

Lung cancer is a wasting disease. After the disease occurs, as the body's energy and nutrition are over-consumed, the body's resistance decreases, making it vulnerable to external pathogens, such as bacterial infection, viral infection, etc. Once infection occurs, the metabolites or toxins released by these pathogenic microorganisms will act on white blood cells, generating endogenous heat sources that act on the temperature regulation center, causing the temperature regulation point to rise, which can cause fever and sweating symptoms.

2. Tumor absorption heat

Tumor cells proliferate rapidly, but due to insufficient blood and oxygen supply, they are prone to cell necrosis. After necrosis, their metabolites stimulate the body's temperature regulation center, causing the tumor to absorb heat and increase body temperature. Once the body temperature rises and heat generation increases, the body will dissipate heat through sweating to lower the body temperature.

3. Distant metastasis of tumor

Lung cancer is prone to distant metastasis when it develops to the late stage. If it metastasizes to the central nervous system, it will damage the body's temperature regulation center, causing pathological fever and sweating in patients.

Once diagnosed with lung cancer, patients should maintain a positive attitude, cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and take targeted treatment measures according to their condition to help control the progression of the disease.
