Why does my right clavicle hurt due to lung cancer?

If right lung cancer causes clavicle pain, it is necessary to exclude bone metastasis, supraclavicular lymph node metastasis and other diseases. If metastasis is considered, systemic tumor treatment is required, mainly chemotherapy and local radiotherapy. If metastatic disease is excluded, further orthopedic consultation is required to confirm the diagnosis. Clavicle pain is mainly caused by lymph node metastasis in the neck invading tissue. Radiotherapy is required in a regular hospital to inhibit the further spread of cancer cells in the body and prevent the disease from worsening. Lung cancer will cause pain below the clavicle.

Cure rate after surgical resection of early-stage small cell lung cancer

Because small cell lung cancer is highly malignant, and when it is assessed in the early stages that small cell lung cancer has not metastasized, cancer cells may have already entered the blood. Even if early small cell lung cancer is treated surgically, active chemotherapy or radiotherapy may still be needed after surgery to prevent possible distant metastasis. When small cell lung cancer is discovered, 1/3 of patients have early-stage small cell lung cancer. If the correct, standard treatment is chosen, that is, radiotherapy and chemotherapy or a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery, combined with preventive brain prevention, the patient's five-year survival rate can reach 17%-20%. The cure rate of small cell lung cancer is relatively low, because the small cells develop relatively quickly. If the disease is not treated in time, it may suddenly turn into mid-stage or late-stage small cell lung cancer.

What is the difference between CT tuberculosis and lung cancer?

The CT manifestations of pulmonary tuberculosis can be seen in the apical and posterior segments of the upper lobes, the dorsal segments of the lower lobes, and the posterior basal segments. Tuberculosis lesions are often seen, which are polymorphic, with infiltration, proliferation, caseous, and fibrocalcified lesions, which can exist at the same time, with uneven density, clear edges, and slow lesion changes, which are prone to forming cavities and disseminated lesions. The CT manifestations of lung cancer are often irregular space-occupying lesions, which can be spherical or lobed. The edges of the lesions often have notches and burrs, and cancerous cavities can also form in the center of the lesions. Lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis are relatively difficult to distinguish.
