Symptoms of adrenal metastasis of lung cancer

Symptoms of lung cancer metastasis to the adrenal glands

1. The staging of lung cancer is determined by the size of the tumor, whether the lymph nodes are enlarged, whether there is distant metastasis, etc. The presence of adrenal metastasis indicates that the tumor is already in the late stage, which can itself cause abnormal renal function or induce adrenal cortex insufficiency.

2. Lung cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the lungs. This type of tumor is divided into squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and small cell lung cancer. Lung cancer itself is more likely to metastasize to the blood type. Lung cancer adrenal metastasis may cause abdominal pain, but in most cases the patient does not have any clinical symptoms.
