What are the characteristics of chest pain caused by lung cancer? What are the treatments for chest pain caused by lung cancer?

Lung cancer is a cancer with a relatively high incidence rate. There is no specific medicine for the treatment of lung cancer. Generally, the effect of early treatment is more obvious. In order to let everyone know more about the symptoms of lung cancer so that they can make a diagnosis of the disease in the early stage, the expert interviewed Liu Xingjing, chief physician of the Armed Police Guangdong Provincial Corps Hospital, to tell everyone what are the characteristics of chest pain caused by lung cancer? What are the treatment methods?

What are the characteristics of chest pain caused by lung cancer?

The chest pain of lung cancer is mainly caused by the invasion of the pleura, which leads to pain in the chest wall corresponding to the pleura. The pain radiates to the shoulder, mostly on the right side, and manifests as persistent pain. Late-stage pulmonary tuberculosis is still a pulmonary tuberculosis disease, which is caused by bacilli. However, because patients with late-stage pulmonary tuberculosis are thinner and have poorer immune systems, and their lungs are stimulated for a long time, the chance of cell mutation is greater, and the possibility of lung cancer is also increased.

What are the treatments?

There are many treatment methods. According to the pathological type of lung cancer, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and integrated Chinese and Western medicine can be used for treatment. Chief physician Liu Xingjing mentioned that patients with advanced lung cancer sometimes experience pain, so pain relief is required in a timely manner; some patients also experience pleural effusion, which leads to breathing difficulties. Thoracentesis is required to reduce the amount of fluid, and then perfusion and other treatments are performed.

Is the cure rate of lung cancer high?

The cure rate of lung cancer is increasing year by year. Lung cancer is mainly divided into four stages: stage 1 is early stage lung cancer, with a 5-year survival rate of 77%; stage 2 is mid-stage lung cancer, with a 5-year survival rate of about 40%; stage 3 is mid-late stage lung cancer, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 20%; stage 4 is late stage lung cancer, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. Since most lung cancers are found in the mid-late stage, the 5-year survival rate of lung cancer is about 8% to 10%.

It is recommended that everyone learn more about lung cancer so that the disease can be detected earlier. Early diagnosis is crucial for treatment. Patients confirmed with lung cancer should not worry too much. As long as they actively cooperate with the treatment, the prognosis of treatment is generally ideal.
