What are the symptoms of advanced lung cancer? Three common symptoms of advanced lung cancer

What are the symptoms of late-stage lung cancer? Lung cancer mainly refers to a symptom that occurs in the bronchial mucosal epithelium. If the patient is not treated in time in the early stages, once the condition becomes serious, it will reach the late stage of lung cancer. At this time, the patient will experience symptoms such as pain, hoarseness, and edema. In severe cases, it may endanger the patient's life.

In recent years, lung cancer is a disease that seriously endangers the life and health of patients, and its incidence rate is getting higher and higher. Generally, patients have no obvious symptoms in the early stage of the disease, or there are some symptoms but they are ignored by people. Then, as the disease continues to worsen, the late stage of lung cancer will appear. If the patient has not received timely treatment at this time, it will directly end the patient's life. So what are the symptoms of late stage lung cancer?

1. Patients with advanced lung cancer generally have symptoms of pain, which is also one of the most common symptoms of advanced lung cancer. This symptom is mainly manifested as pain in the patient's chest cavity, but the chest cavity is also a relatively complex space, in which three-quarters of the lung surface is mainly surrounded by the chest cavity, and the lung surface is composed of a layer of endothelium, fat, muscle and ribs. Therefore, patients will only experience symptoms of chest pain after suffering from advanced lung cancer.

2. Patients with advanced lung cancer may also suffer from hoarseness. This is mainly because the tumor will gradually grow larger when the patient's lung cancer is in the advanced stage. Once the tumor grows larger, it will naturally compress the patient's recurrent laryngeal nerve. Because the function of controlling the patient's left side of the voice is mainly the recurrent laryngeal nerve that goes down from the neck to the chest, and then bypasses the large blood vessels of the heart to the upper larynx, thereby controlling the patient's voice. But if the tumor has compressed the recurrent laryngeal nerve, hoarseness will naturally occur.

3. Patients with advanced lung cancer will also experience edema, which is also a common symptom, and the edema area is mainly concentrated on the patient's face and neck. This is mainly because the tumor invades the right side of the mediastinum and compresses the superior vena cava after it grows, resulting in poor venous return in the neck and causing edema.
