What are the symptoms of liver cancer lung metastasis

What are the symptoms of liver cancer lung metastasis?

1. Liver cancer is a common disease in clinical medicine. During the disease, it will seriously affect the normal immune function of the human body, which is not conducive to the overall metabolism and absorption of the human body, and even lead to serious immune dysfunction and abnormal phenomena. When lung metastasis occurs, the symptoms of patients still vary greatly. For example, the early smaller metastasis may not be particularly numerous.

2. At this time, the patient may not have any symptoms, but a lung CT scan may reveal such metastatic nodules in the lungs. Advanced liver cancer may metastasize to both lungs, which can cause obvious cough, sputum, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. The most common symptom is repeated irritating cough. If the patient has pleural effusion, he or she may experience obvious dyspnea, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

What is the recurrence rate after surgery for primary liver cancer?

Patients with primary liver cancer should be followed up after surgery, and ultrasound examinations and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) tests should be performed regularly to detect metastasis and recurrence at an early stage and to receive timely and active treatment. The recurrence rate of primary liver cancer after surgery is related to the patient's own condition.

If patients avoid drinking alcohol, eating high-fat foods and resting after surgery, the probability of recurrence will be lower. Primary liver cancer may recur after surgery. According to investigations and studies, the probability of recurrence of primary liver cancer after surgery remains at around 30%, which means that 70% will not recur.
