Three signs of lung cancer in the neck

Three signs of lung cancer in the neck:

Lung cancer has obvious signs in the neck, such as swelling, thickening, and redness of the neck.

1. Neck swelling: For long-term smokers, sudden swelling of the neck may be caused by lung cancer, considering that lymph node metastasis may be caused by lung cancer. At this time, it will be found that the swelling of the neck is relatively fixed and hard in texture, and will gradually increase in size, but there will be no obvious pain.

2. Thickening of the neck: Some patients will experience upper and lower venous obstruction syndrome, which is manifested as edema of the head and face, thickening of the neck, etc. During this period, some patients will feel tightness in the neckline, and when looking in the mirror, they will find that the neck is obviously thickened, and in severe cases, they may experience chest tightness.

3. Neck erythema: If the neck is not exposed to the sun but has erythema, we should also be alert to the possibility of lung infection. The normal skin color of the neck is consistent with that of other parts of the body, unless it becomes dark due to long-term exposure to the sun. If it is just an abnormality on the neck skin, we should be vigilant.

Tumors directly compress the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which may also cause hoarseness and dysphagia. Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor, and it is usually necessary to pay attention to physical condition and strive to achieve early detection and early treatment, which can increase the chance of cure.
