What are the symptoms of lung cancer on the face?

Lung cancer patients have no special facial symptoms in the early stages. As the disease progresses, they generally have symptoms such as facial edema, facial emaciation, and drooping eyelids.

1. Facial edema:

When lung cancer cells expand and directly invade the mediastinal lymph nodes, compress and block the superior vena cava, resulting in poor venous return and insufficient blood supply to the face, which can cause facial edema.

2. Facial emaciation:

Because lung cancer cells need to consume a lot of energy substances during the growth and penetration process, competing with the body for energy, resulting in protein loss and fat decomposition, causing lung cancer patients to lose weight and then experience symptoms of facial weight loss.

3. Drooping eyelids:

Because lung cancer compresses the sympathetic nerves in the neck, it can cause the eyelid on the affected side to droop.

Lung cancer can also cause other uncomfortable symptoms. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time for diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of professional doctors to avoid delaying the disease. At the same time, pay attention to actively adjust your mentality, relax appropriately, avoid tension, anxiety, etc. Eat more nutritious foods to ensure that the body has enough nutrition so that the patient has enough tolerance.
