Is it painful in late stage lung cancer

Is advanced lung cancer painful?

1. Patients with advanced lung cancer generally experience symptoms such as pain.

2. The occurrence of lung cancer is generally related to smoking, occupational exposure, air pollution, ionizing radiation, etc. Lung cancer has no obvious symptoms. When the disease develops to a certain extent, symptoms will appear. At present, most lung cancer patients have symptoms when they seek medical treatment, and only a few patients have no symptoms when they are diagnosed with lung cancer. Those with symptoms mainly show blood in sputum, irritating dry cough, asthma, chest pain, etc. Some patients are prone to some bone metastasis in the late stage, which will cause patients to have obvious pain and other symptoms after bone metastasis. This pain continues to attack with local pain, which is obvious at night.

3. The therapeutic effect of general analgesics is not very good. At this time, it is necessary to give some analgesics according to the patient's pain level. Commonly used drugs such as opioids, commonly used drugs such as morphine hydrochloride tablets, hydroxycodone acetaminophen tablets, morphine hydrochloride sustained-release tablets, etc., can relieve the patient's pain.

4. On this basis, according to the patient's pain condition and location, some palliative symptomatic treatments, such as palliative radiotherapy, can be considered to relieve the patient's pain. At the same time, according to the patient's bone metastasis, bisphosphonate preparations such as clodronate disodium capsules, alendronate sodium tablets, and risedronate sodium tablets can be given regularly to effectively control the continued aggravation of bone damage caused by bone metastasis.
