Is shoulder and back pain an early symptom of lung cancer?

Shoulder and back pain is not an early symptom of lung cancer. Most of the time, it is caused by the tumor directly invading the chest wall and nerves at the top of the pleural cavity.

In order to achieve the purpose of radical cure, it is possible to remove the pleura, ribs, blood vessels, etc. Shoulder and back pain is a possible symptom of lung cancer, but shoulder and back pain is not a specific symptom of lung cancer, and many benign diseases, such as frozen shoulder and strain of the soft tissue of the shoulder and back, may cause shoulder and back pain.

How long can lung cancer patients live without eating?

Patients with advanced lung cancer generally experience cachexia symptoms such as weight loss, fatigue, low fever, nausea, vomiting, and anemia. This is mainly because tumor cells continue to consume the human body, causing the patient's physical strength to gradually decline, leading to a decline in the function of various organs. If active treatment is possible, through chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted drug therapy, biological therapy, immunotherapy, etc., as long as the growth, development and spread of the tumor can be controlled, the patient's symptoms will be relieved. Generally, active treatment can extend life by 1-2 years. Patients with advanced lung cancer cannot eat.
