Will lung cancer metastasize to lymph nodes?

Can lung cancer metastasize to the lymph nodes?

1. Lung cancer usually metastasizes to the lymph nodes.

2. Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that originates from the bronchial mucosa or glands of the lungs. It is generally related to smoking, occupational exposure, environmental pollution, tuberculosis, chronic lung inflammation, family history, etc. Symptoms may include cough, sputum, blood in sputum, low fever, chest pain, and shortness of breath.

3. Lung cancer can easily metastasize to the corresponding lymph nodes through the lymphatic system, such as ipsilateral hilar or mediastinal lymph node metastasis. After lymph node metastasis, standardized anti-tumor treatment should be carried out according to the patient's specific situation. If there is an opportunity for surgical resection, standardized radical surgical resection can be considered. If the patient loses the opportunity for radical surgical resection, synchronous radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other related treatments can be considered to achieve better treatment effects.

4. It is generally recommended that lung cancer patients seek medical treatment in a timely manner, follow the advice of professional doctors, and undergo standardized diagnosis and treatment. During the treatment process, do a good job of self-care and do not smoke or drink.
