Melanoma is a malignant skin cancer with a high mortality rate. This melanoma usually grows on the surface of the skin. So what are the specific symptoms when melanoma metastasizes to the lungs? Lung Melanoma Symptoms 1. Fever There are many reasons for fever. Generally speaking, bacterial and viral infections, connective tissue diseases, and functional fever can all cause fever. 2. Pain As normal tissues are destroyed and infiltrated by tumors, the adjacent nerve roots will be compressed and destroyed by the tumors. This will lead to ischemic necrosis of local tissues, obstruction of blood return, infiltration of bones and periosteum, and thus cause pain in the body. Pain is usually the most common symptom associated with patients with advanced malignant tumors. The current methods mainly use analgesics and anesthetics. 3. Cachexia Cachexia refers specifically to the symptoms of extreme weight loss, mental fatigue, and physical weakness in patients with advanced cancer. Due to the abnormal and rapid proliferation of cancer cells, cancer patients have higher nutritional needs than normal people, which affects the functions of other organs in the body. In addition, the toxic substances produced by cancer itself cause gastrointestinal dysfunction in patients, resulting in nausea, vomiting, fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, and increasing weight loss, which also affects the body's functions. Cancer compresses or invades adjacent important organs, thereby affecting the physiological and anatomical functions of certain tissues and organs of the individual. 4. Malignant effusion Malignant cavity effusion is an important complication of malignant tumors and is relatively common in clinical practice. If not handled properly, it can lead to rapid deterioration and even death. What are the treatments for lung melanoma? 1. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment Conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine is recommended for late-stage melanoma. Some traditional Chinese medicines that are helpful for the treatment of melanoma can be selected for the treatment of melanoma. Ginsenoside Rh2 in ginseng essence can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. To a certain extent, it can not only repair the patient's immune barrier and thus rebuild the body's self-protection system, but also restore the number of platelets and white blood cells in patients with malignant melanoma to normal levels. Ginsenoside Rh2 in ginseng essence rarely causes adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting during use, and can comprehensively improve the quality of life of patients with kidney cancer, so that patients can always maintain relatively normal physical strength and eventually complete various treatments smoothly. 2. Surgical treatment Surgery is a common treatment for lung melanoma, which involves surgically removing the tumor with the goal of curing it. 3. Radiotherapy Radiotherapy is also a common method for treating melanoma, but this method will cause certain harm to the body during treatment. |
