Is lung metastasis of breast cancer a solid nodule?

Breast cancer is a condition in which mammary epithelial cells proliferate uncontrollably under the influence of multiple carcinogenic factors. Breast cancer lung metastasis is generally a solid nodule, and the presence of lung metastasis usually indicates that the disease has developed to an advanced stage and requires timely treatment.

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor. In the early stages of the disease, breast lumps, nipple discharge, and enlarged axillary lymph nodes will appear. As the disease progresses, cancer cells in late-stage patients will metastasize, and solid nodules will generally appear after metastasizing to the lungs. Solid nodules are relatively hard, have rough surfaces, and have blurred boundaries. They will grow toward surrounding tissues and are generally caused by malignant tumors, such as lung cancer, breast cancer, and metastatic cancer. Non-solid nodules are softer, have smooth surfaces, and have clear boundaries with the surrounding tissues. They are mostly caused by cysts, lipomas, etc.

Patients are advised to go to the hospital as soon as possible. The doctor will conduct detailed examinations on the patients, such as ultrasound examinations, enhanced CT examinations, etc., and then carry out targeted treatments, such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, etc. Active treatment can control the progression of the disease and prolong the patient's survival time.
