Will lung cancer cause fever?

Does lung cancer cause fever?

1. Lung cancer will not cause fever. After being diagnosed with the disease, you should cooperate with the doctor's treatment in time to avoid worsening of the condition.

2. Lung cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the bronchial mucosa or glands of the lungs. The formation of lung cancer is related to smoking, occupational exposure, air pollution, ionizing radiation, etc. Lung cancer patients do not have obvious discomfort symptoms in the early stage. As the tumor volume increases, it will compress the surrounding tissues, causing the patient to have symptoms such as coughing, sputum, and hemoptysis. When the tumor blocks the trachea, it will cause obstructive pneumonia, which will lead to tumor cell necrosis. The release of inflammatory mediators will cause fever, which should be treated in time.

3. When the body temperature of lung cancer patients is above 38.5℃, they can use ibuprofen capsules, acetaminophen granules and other drugs for antipyretic treatment under the guidance of doctors. Lung cancer patients can also use targeted drugs such as erlotinib hydrochloride tablets and gefitinib tablets for treatment under the guidance of doctors. Patients who meet the surgical conditions can also be treated through bilateral lobectomy and bronchial sleeve lobectomy.
