Symptoms of prostate cancer with lung metastasis

Symptoms of prostate cancer with lung metastasis. Prostate cancer is a common tumor disease in clinical practice, which seriously endangers men's health. Because early symptoms are often ignored by patients, the disease has developed to the middle and late stages. Tumor diseases will metastasize in the middle and late stages. Among them, lung metastasis is relatively common in clinical practice, which brings serious harm to patients. Active treatment is the most important. So, what are the symptoms of prostate cancer lung metastasis?

What are the symptoms of prostate cancer lung metastasis?

1. Lump: Lump is also a common symptom of prostate cancer lung metastasis. About 1/3 to 1/4 of prostate cancer patients can be found with enlarged kidneys when they seek medical treatment. The kidneys are relatively hidden, and lumps are difficult to detect before prostate cancer reaches a considerable size. Generally, a lump felt in the abdomen is a late-stage symptom.

2. Low back pain: Low back pain is a symptom of prostate cancer lung metastasis that is not easily noticed. Most of the time, it is dull pain, localized in the waist. The pain is often caused by the growth of the tumor and swelling of the renal capsule. Blood clots passing through the ureter can also cause low back pain as mentioned above. When the tumor invades the surrounding organs and waist muscles, the pain is more severe and persistent.

3. Pain: Pain occurs in about 50% of cases and is also a symptom of lung metastasis of advanced prostate cancer. It is caused by the renal capsule or renal pelvis being involved by the gradually growing tumor, or by the tumor invading and compressing the connective tissue, muscles, lumbar vertebrae or lumbar nerves on the posterior abdominal wall, resulting in persistent pain in the affected side of the waist.

4. Hematuria: Hematuria is often painless and intermittent. The whole process of hematuria is visible to the naked eye, and the interval shortens as the lesion progresses. When prostate cancer bleeds a lot, it may be accompanied by renal colic, which is often caused by blood clots passing through the ureter. The blood clots in hematuria of prostate cancer may form strips due to passing through the ureter. Hematuria is the most common symptom of lung metastasis of prostate cancer. The degree of hematuria has nothing to do with the size of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer can sometimes manifest as persistent microscopic hematuria.

Patients with advanced prostate cancer are prone to lung metastasis. Once the lungs metastasize, the pain is unbearable for the patient. Conventional painkillers are generally used clinically, but long-term use of painkillers will produce drug resistance and side effects. At present, biological immunotherapy technology can effectively relieve pain, improve symptoms, and improve the quality of life of patients with advanced lung cancer.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of prostate cancer lung metastasis. As you can see, if prostate cancer develops to the late stage, it will cause serious harm to the body. Therefore, in order to reduce the harm caused by advanced prostate cancer to patients, timely treatment is necessary. Here, I wish you a speedy recovery.
