How lung cancer affects other body systems

There are many symptoms of lung cancer in medical clinical research. Often, many other physical discomforts are caused by lung cancer. Next, let me explain to you the impact of lung cancer on other systems of the body.

(1) Fever. Lung cancer patients rarely have fever in the early stages, but when the cancerous tissue of the lung cancer is necrotic, it can cause low or moderate fever, which is ineffective for antibiotic treatment. When central lung cancer with lesions close to the hilum of the lung grows in the bronchus and develops to the point of obstruction or semi-obstruction of the bronchial lumen, it can cause obstructive pneumonia and systemic fever. Antibiotic treatment can reduce the fever, but if the obstructive lesions are not removed, the symptoms of lung cancer can recur.

(2) Joint swelling and pain This is also caused by the symptoms of lung cancer. The pain is mainly in the large joints, mostly the iliac joints, followed by the wrist joints. It is not migratory and has nothing to do with weather changes. Local swelling may occur. X-rays show no other abnormalities except for occasional thickening of the periosteum. Some lung cancer patients may have rod-shaped fingers (toes). Clinically, these symptoms of lung cancer are called pulmonary osteoarthritis or ectopic growth hormone syndrome.

(3) Skin changes: A small number of lung cancer patients may show itchy skin rashes, dermatomyositis, herpes zoster, etc. in the early stages.

(4) Endocrine system disorders: A small number of lung cancer patients may also experience progressive muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, diabetes, lower limb edema, male breast enlargement, testicular atrophy, etc., which are also caused by the symptoms of lung cancer in the body.

The above are some of the manifestations of other body systems caused by the symptoms of lung cancer. I hope everyone can pay more attention to it and not ignore the existence of lung cancer.
