What are the dangers of lung cancer recurrence

Lung cancer is a very common malignant tumor disease. Because lung cancer is difficult to treat, many people have lost their lives due to this disease. For an ordinary family, if a family member suffers from lung cancer, it will bring a heavy burden to the entire family. So, what are the specific hazards of lung cancer? The following experts will give a detailed introduction to this issue. What are the hazards of liver cancer to the human body? There are mainly the following points:

1. Digestive tract symptoms

Loss of appetite, upper abdominal fullness after meals, flatulence, indigestion, nausea, and diarrhea are common digestive tract symptoms of liver cancer.

2. Lower limb edema in the middle and late stages of liver cancer

Patients with liver cancer and ascites often have lower limb edema, which may occur at the ankles in mild cases and spread to the entire lower limbs in severe cases. The main reason is that ascites compresses the lower limb veins or tumor thrombus blocks venous return. Mild edema can also be caused by low plasma albumin.

3. Bleeding tendency in late stage liver cancer

Liver cancer patients often have bleeding gums, subcutaneous ecchymoses and other bleeding tendencies. Gastrointestinal bleeding is also common, mainly due to portal hypertension leading to esophageal varices. In fact, gastrointestinal bleeding is also one of the main causes of death in patients with advanced liver cancer.

4. Acute abdomen

Rupture of cancerous nodules usually causes pain in the liver area. During physical examination, there is obvious tenderness in the liver area, which is a symptom of liver capsule irritation. After the rupture of cancerous nodules, some patients experience acute abdominal pain accompanied by peritoneal irritation symptoms, which can be easily misdiagnosed as acute peritonitis. Abdominal pain caused by rupture of cancerous nodules is usually accompanied by a drop in blood pressure or even shock, which is different from general acute peritonitis.

5. Acute abdominal pain symptoms

After the cancerous nodules rupture, some patients experience acute abdominal pain accompanied by peritoneal irritation symptoms, which can be easily misdiagnosed as acute peritonitis. The abdominal pain caused by the rupture of cancerous nodules is usually accompanied by a drop in blood pressure or even shock. This is a relatively obvious hazard of liver cancer to the human body.

The above five points are the main hazards of lung cancer. I believe everyone knows the hazards of lung cancer.
