Three symptoms indicate that lung cancer has spread

Lung cancer has spread and there are more than just three symptoms. You may also experience breathing difficulties, persistent coughing and coughing up blood, chest pain, fractures or pain, general fatigue or weight loss. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time and then follow the doctor's advice for treatment.

1. Difficulty breathing: Lung cancer that spreads to other organs or lymph nodes may cause difficulty breathing because the tumor compresses the airways or lung tissue.

2. Continuous cough or coughing up blood: The spread of lung cancer may cause worsening cough or coughing up blood, which may be caused by the tumor invading the airway or lung tissue.

3. Chest pain: Lung cancer spreading to tissues or organs around the chest may cause chest pain or discomfort.

4. Fractures or pain: Lung cancer spreading to the bones may cause fractures or bone pain, especially in weakened areas of the bones.

5. General fatigue or weight loss: The spread of lung cancer may cause general fatigue, loss of appetite and weight loss. This may be because the tumor consumes the body's energy or affects the body's absorption of nutrients.

If lung cancer shows signs of spreading, it is recommended to seek medical attention for further examination and treatment. Early detection and treatment of lung cancer spread can increase the success rate of treatment and survival rate.
