Paralysis and incontinence due to brain metastasis from advanced lung cancer

Paralysis and incontinence caused by advanced lung cancer brain metastasis

1. Paralysis, aphasia, and urinary incontinence are common clinical symptoms of advanced lung cancer brain metastasis, which are mainly caused by abnormal brain function after tumor brain metastasis. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can improve the condition.

2. Most patients with advanced lung cancer will have brain metastasis. Once the brain metastasizes, the tumor will continue to grow in the relevant parts of the brain, and the tumor will compress the local brain tissue. Different parts of the brain will cause different symptoms. If it is transferred to the human language area, it will cause aphasia and the patient will not be able to speak normally. If it is transferred to the central nervous system, the compression of the nerves will cause paralysis, urinary incontinence and a decline in quality of life.

3. Since brain metastasis of advanced lung cancer is a very serious disease, it usually cannot be effectively treated by surgery. Therefore, the main treatment goal of patients is to relieve their pain and prolong their life. Clinically, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are generally used to achieve relevant effects. Of course, immunotherapy can also be used to achieve better results. During the treatment process, it is necessary to pay attention to the patient's physical changes and provide good daily life care.

4. After lung cancer examination, treatment measures should be taken as soon as possible to avoid brain metastasis, otherwise it will not only increase the difficulty of treatment but may also not be able to be completely cured.
