What are the symptoms of advanced lung cancer? These two points need attention

There are many symptoms of advanced lung cancer. First, the tumor area will increase, and the patient will have hemoptysis and neuralgia. Secondly, the patient will have bone pain, back pain, leg pain, and decreased vision and hearing, which are all normal. In the late stage, on the one hand, active treatment is needed, and on the other hand, a positive attitude is needed. If the attitude is good, the cancer cells will spread more slowly, and the survival time will be longer.

Lung cancer is divided into 4 stages. In stage 1 and 2, the symptoms are not too obvious, but in stage 3 and 4, the symptoms will be more obvious and the patient will feel pain. In addition to pain, there are some other symptoms that affect the patient's survival time. Let's learn about the symptoms of advanced lung cancer through the following article.
Symptoms of advanced lung cancer
1. When lung cancer reaches the late stage, the tumor is relatively large, and the lesions will metastasize, including mediastinal lymph node metastasis, and even supraclavicular lymph node metastasis, etc. In addition, the usual cough and chest tightness will worsen, and the patient will also have hemoptysis and neuralgia, including laryngeal nerves, neck upper limbs, chest wall edema, and sympathetic nerves, etc.
2. Due to the different sites of metastasis, patients may also experience bone metastasis, and the pain is more obvious. If metastasis occurs in thoracic and lumbar vertebrae and other vertebrae, nerve compression will cause low back and leg pain, hemiplegia on one side, and adversely affect the patient's life. In addition, after brain metastasis, patients will experience memory loss, and even vision and hearing impairment. If it is liver metastasis, patients will experience nausea, vomiting, ascites, and jaundice.
Treatment of advanced lung cancer <br/>Generally, in the advanced stage, surgery is not enough to cure the disease. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy can be used to improve survival time. During radiotherapy, high-heat rays are used to kill cancer cells, although some normal cells are not lacking. Targeted therapy is symptomatic treatment and can effectively improve the patient's quality of life. There are many types of targeted drugs. If resistance to first-line drugs is developed, second- and third-line drugs are needed for treatment.
In the late stage of lung cancer, treatment is one aspect, and the patient's mentality is another. If the mentality is good, treatment is actively carried out, and good eating and rest habits are maintained, then the survival time will be very long. If you give up, the cancer cells will spread throughout the body, and the survival time will be very short.
