Symptoms before death from liver metastasis of lung cancer

Lung cancer metastasizes to the liver, so it is in the late stage. It is an advanced tumor. At this time, medicine cannot completely cure it. The main thing is to improve the condition as much as possible and relieve the pain. The symptoms before death may include dyspnea, chest tightness, severe liver pain, etc. The pain is obvious and can be treated with strong analgesics. Fatigue and low fever usually occur, and are also accompanied by dyspnea symptoms. Cough and cough symptoms are particularly severe, sometimes causing systemic edema, dark yellow and rough skin, pain in the liver, and more severe pain when pressing. Late-stage lung cancer metastasizes to the liver, and the symptoms gradually worsen, including organ failure, coughing up sputum, blood in sputum, hoarseness, dyspnea, upper abdominal discomfort, pain, liver enlargement, indigestion, nausea and vomiting, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, edema, jaundice, etc. In severe cases, cardiopulmonary failure may occur.

Characteristics of early chest pain in lung cancer

Since chest pain from lung cancer is caused by the invasion of the pleura and nearby chest wall by the mass, some patients may experience irregular dull pain or hidden pain in the chest, which will worsen with symptoms such as breathing or coughing. The pain is caused by the invasion of lung lesions into the chest wall. The patient needs a comprehensive examination. If there is no metastasis, surgical treatment can be performed. If the chest wall is invaded, the parietal pleura needs to be removed. Chest pain symptoms may occur in the early stages of lung cancer. Patients often cough and expectorate to the hospital for treatment.
