Why does lung cancer cause bone metastasis? How to treat lung cancer bone metastasis

Why does lung cancer cause bone metastasis? How should bone metastasis of lung cancer be treated? Malignant tumors generally grow rapidly and spread to surrounding tissues and metastasize to distant parts. When metastasis occurs, cancer is not only present at the primary site, but may appear in various parts of the body. Bones are a common site for lung cancer to metastasize. How does bone metastasis of lung cancer occur?

Why does lung cancer cause bone metastasis?
Lung cancer is now one of the most common malignant tumors. Lung cancer is very likely to metastasize to the lymph nodes and blood in the early stage, and this metastasis may metastasize to the bone. Generally speaking, when bone metastasis occurs, there will be obvious bone pain and dysfunction, and some people may think it is arthritis, which often delays the disease. Only further examination can reveal the metastasis of cancer cells.
How to treat lung cancer bone metastasis?
1. Supportive treatment Supportive treatment is mainly aimed at relieving symptoms. Generally, when bone metastasis first occurs, the patient has obvious pain and local dysfunction. The first thing to do is to relieve the patient's pain. Secondly, other methods can be considered to restore the patient's joint activity function. A series of adjustments in the patient's daily life can alleviate symptoms.
2. Systemic treatment Systemic treatment is the main treatment method for cancer cell metastasis. While conducting medical treatment, local analgesia can be considered to relieve symptoms. When bone metastasis occurs, patients must avoid excessive activities in their lives. At this time, activities cannot improve joint and bone symptoms, but may increase bone damage. Therefore, when severe symptoms occur, external fixation is required to prevent abnormalities in the bone metastasis site.
3. Surgical treatment For patients who have bone metastasis, the symptoms of bone metastasis need to be evaluated. Some patients may have fractures due to the influence of cancer cells. At this time, surgical treatment is required to ensure the patient's recovery. During the operation, the fracture site must be evaluated first. If the symptoms are not serious and will not affect the patient's life, reduction and external fixation methods can be used. Bone metastasis often causes more serious fractures, which may damage the tissues and blood vessels around the fracture site, causing serious life-threatening to the patient. This requires internal fixation surgery to provide effective treatment.
In addition to fracture fixation surgery, the primary tumor can also be removed. Using the two surgeries together is beneficial to the patient's early recovery, but the patient's body is affected by the surgery, and middle-aged and elderly patients may not be able to undergo both surgeries at the same time. When cancer occurs, the best thing is early detection and early treatment, and prevention of various cancer conditions can effectively control cancer. Lung cancer is currently the cancer with the highest incidence rate. Therefore, if related symptoms occur, patients should go to the hospital for examination immediately, strive to detect lung cancer in the early stage, and control cancer cells. Otherwise, once the cancer cells spread and metastasize, the difficulty of treatment will increase, which is not conducive to ensuring the patient's prognosis after treatment.
