Symptoms of brain metastasis from lung cancer

Symptoms of lung cancer brain metastasis:

Lung cancer is one of the common types of cancer. When cancer cells metastasize to the brain, the condition is very serious. Lung cancer usually has no obvious symptoms in the early stages and the disease develops slowly, but it will develop rapidly at a certain critical point. Patients may experience some obvious symptoms in the short term, but metastasis is also prone to occur. Here are some common knowledge about lung cancer. Brain metastasis in patients with lung cancer is more serious, making treatment more difficult. Unexplained headaches, vomiting, visual impairment, personality and temper changes in patients with lung cancer may be caused by intracranial hypertension or cranial nerve damage caused by lung cancer metastasis to the brain. Common in small cell lung cancer and adenocarcinoma types.

Headache is the most common symptom. Vomiting mainly occurs in severe headaches, characterized by projectile vomiting. Visual impairment indicates that the tumor has affected, compressed or invaded the optic nerve. It can be seen that the symptoms of lung cancer brain metastasis are relatively severe, but in addition to these symptoms, lung cancer brain metastasis may also cause diplopia, paroxysmal blackouts, cataplexy, impaired consciousness, increased blood pressure, and slow pulse. In severe cases, brain herniation caused by tumor compression may cause respiratory arrest, endangering the patient's life.
