What are the reactions of late-stage lung cancer?

In the later stages of lung cancer, there are usually symptoms such as cough, chest pain, and difficulty breathing, so good care should be provided for lung cancer patients.

1. Cough: Patients with advanced lung cancer usually have inflammatory infections, which cause the respiratory tract to secrete excessive inflammatory secretions. The inflammatory secretions and increased lung tumor tissue will irritate the airways, which will cause coughing symptoms.

2. Chest pain: In the later stages of lung cancer, the tumor tissue that grows will compress and irritate the pleura. Stimulating the nerves in the pleura will cause chest pain.

3. Dyspnea: Lung cancer patients in the later stages may have their airways blocked by the growth of tumors. When the airways are blocked, breathing resistance increases, leading to dyspnea symptoms. As the disease progresses, the symptoms will continue to worsen.

In addition to the common reactions mentioned above, there are also reactions such as fever, weight loss, and headache. If the cells are transferred to the brain, it will cause headache symptoms. For patients with advanced lung cancer, due to the relatively large energy consumption of the body, attention should be paid to nutritional support during nursing, so that the patient can only take in enough nutrition to support the immune function and enhance the body's resistance.
