What are the symptoms of lung cancer bone metastasis? 3 symptoms of lung cancer bone metastasis

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the lungs. It is one of the malignant tumors with the fastest growing incidence and mortality, and it poses the greatest threat to human health and life. Lung cancer cells can spread and metastasize, and bone metastasis is one of them. Symptoms will appear during the metastasis.

There are many causes of lung cancer, but they are inseparable from factors such as smoking, air pollution, heredity, ionizing radiation, occupation, chronic lung infection, etc. Therefore, the incidence and mortality of lung cancer in male smokers rank first. In particular, the younger the age of smoking, the higher the chance of lung cancer. So what are the symptoms of bone metastasis of lung cancer?

1. In the early stages of lung cancer bone metastasis, there are usually no symptoms. In the late stages, if the cancer cells metastasize to the ribs, it will cause chest pain, which is generally manifested as localized pain in the chest wall with clear tenderness points. If it metastasizes to the spinal cord, it will cause pain in the middle of the back or the lesion site. If it metastasizes to the limbs or trunk, it will cause localized pain in this area. If it metastasizes to the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine and other parts, it will cause paralysis.

2. The incidence and location of lung cancer bone metastasis are related to the pathological type of the primary cancer. Generally, adenocarcinoma has the highest incidence of bone metastasis, followed by small cell lung cancer and squamous cell carcinoma. There are many locations of metastasis, such as ribs, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, pelvis, and adenocarcinoma and chest, pelvis, etc. Generally, bone metastasis is mainly caused by adenocarcinoma, which often invades the ribs and thoracic vertebrae. The reason for this may be related to the occurrence of adenocarcinoma around the lungs, so it is easy to cause direct invasion and involve the ribs and thoracic vertebrae.

3. There are ways to treat lung cancer after it metastasizes to the bone. The first is chemotherapy, which is systemic chemotherapy. It can control the development of bone metastasis and relieve pain while treating the primary lung lesions. It can kill cancer cells and control the growth of cancer cells. Radiotherapy can also be performed. Radiotherapy is an auxiliary treatment method that can relieve pain, kill cancer cells and control the development of lesions.

These are the symptoms after lung cancer bone metastasis, so patients with this symptom should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. The earlier the treatment, the better the effect of the treatment. Patients must have confidence in fighting the disease and should not think too much during treatment, as this will be detrimental to the treatment. Family members should also accompany the patients more.
