Lung metastasis can cause cough and dyspnea, liver metastasis can cause liver damage, liver failure, and jaundice. Bone metastasis can cause pain and physical fractures. Common lymph node metastasis compresses nerves and blood vessels, causing a series of symptoms. For example, the formation of intracranial metastasis can lead to nerve invasion and decreased vision, while increasing intracranial pressure and causing headaches.
